What about a desire to achieve success? I'm not a good drawer, unfortunately. I'm a musician though, so I have some artistic talent...Was it just doodling? How'd you hear about the workshops? Why'd you decide to take the public classes that you did take? I'm going to start investing time in learning how to design, starting next quarter. Haha, just wanted to do some preliminary research from some professionals!
To be honest, if you don't have a natural affinity for art (or anything else for that matter), it's going to be significantly harder to compete with people who do. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try though! Who knows, you might be really good at it.
I know I'm at a major disadvantage; I'm not trying to compete with others in terms of GFX capability. I just wanna be able to design stuff for my own websites and programs, when I start designing. I feel like I could draw better if I were to take some courses. I was "nominated" in my art class when I was in elementary school...but I really don't think I'm that great of a drawer. I just never learned any techniques, and when I see my friends that can doodle really well, it makes me jealous haha.
Ask around, depending on where you live. Search for workshops and classes online for your area.
The desire is the most important part of being successful. That's great if you are willing to give yourself into it.
Will do! I'm gonna attend some free workshops, if there are any, when I get the chance. Attending university is running me dry of $$ :X
