what i did was practice.. and i am sure taht of you practice you would beacome an artist too.. remember that bieng an artist isn't just about paints and canvas.. it can be about other things too.. what are you good at?
still life, cartoons, abtstract, fixing/decorating my pictures of me, my friends and family on Photoshop, and copying master artwork (like artwork done by Da Vinci, Picasso, etc.)
I'm terrible at drawing people, but I'm trying to get better. I'm trying to teach myself how to draw manga/anime.
