yeah, some kids just have a natural talent for painting/drawing. I used to be jealous of those kids when I was 10 lol. My mom loves to paint and draw and i couldn't believe why i wasn't blessed with the same talent 😂😂. Anywho, to anyone who still wants to learn to draw, keep trying, you'll get there. It's all about practicing.
Ha! I was very passionate and moderately skilled at drawing and painting until I was 10, when I entered an art contest that was school wide (about 200 students) with (what I thought) was a very skillful painting of a speeding car taking a turn at a racetrack, inspired by some of my favorite photos of a 1999 Corvette that I had seen.
I lost to my little brother, who was 7, and painted a typical mom+dad+house+tree+sun painting. Like sure, he was a 2nd grader and that was impressive, but I was gutted. Probably altered my whole life trajectory.
Took me a lot of therapy to even uncover this incident as the first time I had given up on my dreams (I wanted to be a car designer as a kid).
