Ern A Smithe from Gene Wolfe’s “A Borrowed Man” and “Interlibrary Loan”, but also “Home Fires” where a person will sell their body for period of time to have their memories and personality overwritten by those of a dead person who has been scanned (sometimes the personality runs away with the body)

learning how to draw is more like learning how to tinker with linux or program something than one thinks. i think the biggest stopgap is usually the free time, but the culture of learning how to draw has this very peculiar situation where people treat it as exceptionally less systematic or
Honestly this is an excuse.
I know plenty of people who are not “naturally gifted” who do art.
It requires effort to learn. I feel you did not approach it correctly or think things happen over night.
Also hard work and skill is not “naturally gifted” as that undermines their efforts to draw.
