I'd like to add that when I contacted you on Balmung about how you rudely tore apart my work in progress, you said you were having trouble explaining what you meant and that your post was in no way meant to be harmful. Well now I see that as complete bullshit because you ARE being harmful to people by tearing apart their style of art and their way of drawing.
EVERYONE has their own unique style. You come in here claiming that people are born with talent and that those who aren't and are just picking up the pencil will NEVER match those who are born with the gift. Well news flash for you buddy.
This was my art when I literally started picking up a pencil:

And this is my art recently over 10-12 years of drawing (First image is FFXIV related):

If I was an artist related to you in any way; I would be extremely embarrassed and ashamed to see how badly and horribly you disrespect peoples art.
My point is.. people CAN improve to be just like those who suddenly picked up a pencil and spewed a masterpiece. It may take years and a lot of time and dedication; But it CAN be done.
Art runs in my family as you can see here. My Aunt is Judith Edman/Beisel (My father's sister) and she does oil on canvas like a Pro. This is some of my Aunts work:
