What talented artists are born with and how it affects us - a podcast by Foo Podcasts

So do you think you need to be born with special skills in order to be a good artist? How much is in your hand when you create art? I’m sure pretty much all artists have thought about this question some time in their lives, but I think this is also relevant for people who don’t create art. I feel like there is this sort of cloud of mystery when it comes to how artists create or become good at their craft, and over the years of drawing a lot by myself but also talking to other aspiring as well as established artists, I have observed a few things. 


Today I want to talk about what I think naturally gifted artists tend to be born with but also what that means for you or anyone in that matter that doesn’t have these traits. It’ll be good for artists, because they tend to be the ones who undervalue their skills the most, precisely because a lot comes naturally to them. That is why so many young artists do not charge appropriate prices or don’t know how to get what they should earn. And for non-artists, it’s good to know so you can get a step closer to understanding art, what goes into it and also that that shouldn't necessarily stop you from creating art yourself.
