Explanation:
This is an interesting question. It never occurred to me that I had a talent. I had a need to learn things. I felt instead of having a talent that I was rather slow, I had a need to make images, I in no sense was very good at it, but the need was intense. I realized that I was an artist at age nine. Not because I felt that I had a talent, and certainly no one else thought that either. I just took the realization seriously.
I have worked hard at making images my entire life. When I was nineteen I realized that I could make my living at making images. I still did not think that I had any particular talent. I just had this burning need to not fail.
I have never particularly thought that I had any talent at all. But I have this need that is nearly obsessive in nature. I need to learn, I need to communicate and after more than sixty yers at making images I am confident that I can do something with these images. I knew early, like in my twenties that I could do something, but as I have matured and learned and refined my abilities, I have a great deal of confidence that I can do a number of things with these images.
I still do not think I have any particular talent.I just know I can do things. Maybe to be more clear, what I know is the obverse. I just cannot imagine that I cannot do something. I still have this burning need to make images, and stories which are in a way images to me. I still have this burning need to not fail. So I carefully determine what I know I can do and what I need help in doing and then I find people to help me.
In teaching people and in my own learning this is what I have discovered. Talent is not very important. Drive and ambition are very important. Most everything can be learned and learned rather well. There are people who have talent and there are people who have drive and coupled with talent they can do a great deal. But for most people, the vast majority of us, talent is way over rated.
Most people with talent do very little with it. Virtually all people with drive do a great deal with the drive.
Most people never try, most people figure if they are not very good right from the start that they have no talent and give up.
I think that talent gets in the way with accomplishment. I also think that one needs a ruthless honesty about one’s self. I self critique everything that I do. Then I go and participate in group critiques and private critiques, all of my life. I need the feedback so I am not deluding myself.
I am starting to make graphic novels. I have no idea that I cannot do this, I have such a fear of failure and a clear understanding of what is needed and what I have to learn that I am determined to make a successful piece. Which does not mean sell a million copies. What it does mean is that the product will be, one, as good as I can make it be today. And two, to partner with people who do know what a successful piece is and make sure that they teach me what I do not know already on my own. Which in this case means I hired an editor and an art consultant, and I am confident that the product will be competent, because they will not let me produce anything that is not competent. It is that simple, if the editor says do it again, then I just go back and do it again. It is not really complex, it is just aerobic.
Mind you, I am not aiming unrealistically for spectacular, just competent.
Since this question is really interesting to me I asked some people who know me well, what is my talent if I even have such a thing. I get vague answers, that I am an artist, I am creative and analytical, but really what does any of that mean?
I picked up a camera at age four and took lots of photographs, but I didn’t become good until I was eighteen or nineteen. That means that I was pretty mediocre for fifteen years. I did not care, I knew if I worked at it enough I would get it.
I have been writing for nearly thirty years, but I really do not think that I have any particular talent in writing. I do have one ability and that is to communicate, but it is something that I have been working on for more than fifty years. I have studied, both formally in university and on my own. I learned stuff and I think about what I have learned.
But this is not special, lots of people do that exact same thing. So it ends up being an interesting question, what does one do with their talent if they have such a thing?
And as a follow-up question, why didn’t they just do whatever that might be anyway? Why would having or not having talent have any part of the decision making process for their life?
My greatest talent is creating artistic pieces or in other words drawing. One of my teachers encouraged me to try to do more art work when I was in my xx grade. With her encouragement, I continued drawing different pictures of my surroundings and other random things.
The talent of creating beautiful art is widely appreciated and I am really thankful that I own that talent.
