"You either have it or you don't."
I've heard this from plenty of creative professionals. The idea is that some people are gifted, and others are just bumbling goofballs who can't draw a stick figure.
I completely disagree.
As a student, I rarely got A's in drawing classes. For whatever reason, I was never the star art student.
Now, I draw for a living.
Sure, some people have a stronger natural knack. It's harder for me to dunk a basketball than LeBron James. He's King James — I'm Short King Josh.
But if you spent 40 hours a week doing anything, you would see massive improvement over time.
Creativity is surprisingly simple. It's just an idea and its execution.
The more you practice executing — in this case, drawing — the better the results.
Creativity is just reps.
