True, but the theory is the same.

Well, it does take practice.  But, it also helps to have a vision of what you want to draw.  My head is so full of things that I'd like to see drawn that I can't focus on any one thing.  So, I commission someone else to make my visions real.

Sounds like some I've talked with who had complexes about being a lousy artist.

It is easy :) Just donate to Gods and you will get drawing level up :)

LOL. So true :-)

I should add, the goddess in question would most likely be Minerva, and the sacrifice would traditionally be held during the Quinquatria, the fifth day after the Ides of March - celebrating the birth of Minerva by god-father Jupiter - a multi day feast dedicated to her different aspects - including art, martial art, divination and knowledge. On the last, fifth day of it you'd typically make sacrifices in the form of gifts to the temples, and yes, cows were occasionally among the gifts given (and I'm sure the temple servants appreciated it just as much as the goddess herself ;) )

What FUR_ANON_84AD totally got wrong is that the gods didn't care as much about the absolute value of a sacrifice, than how much of a sacrifice you personally make. Giving 8 cows and gold and jewels when you own a thousand cows - while making the temple happy - might impress the goddess less than poor child, giving a single bowl of spring cherries - when that means they will go to bed hungry that day while everyone else feasted and celebrated, having given all they had.

Art is often picked up by the rich as a hobby, because they have the spare time to practice it, but the true artists who are following Minerva's call out of devotion itself are - and have been - often poor. It's hard to make a living on art alone unless you are already famous, and that certainly was no different in ancient Rome.

But isn't it the most truest worship of the goddess of art, if you sit in front of the canvas day in and day out, practicing, reworking the piece, until it finally becomes perfect, a masterpiece that she would smile upon?

Maybe the truest sacrifice is the hard work and dedication put into ones art, that Minerva will eventually reward with talent, and, possibly, hopefully, fame ? ;)

Well Fur_Anon_84AD, you could always do like the old joke.  "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?"  "Practice, man, practice."

Aw!  You mean you didn't REALLY sacrifice all those cattle to the gods for your drawing ability.  What a gyp!  LOL.

When I was young, I was convinced that school was easy for everyone but me. All the other students just breezed through, while I alone struggled.
Years later, in college and then graduate school, I discovered that EVERYONE struggled, and that time, effort, and hard work decided who succeeded, and who failed.
In the first year of graduate school, you have to pass all of your classes, and by second year, about half of students have left. For the most part, they weren't thrown out, or asked not to return. they quit Many were more 'talented' than me. But, I pressed on, while they left. I had decided that I needed to do whatever it took to get that degree.
A friend from school didn't have grades to get into a graduate program, so he got another degree. With better grades, he got in! Unfortunately, he didn't pass all of his freshman classes. So, he asked the Dean if he could try again. To everyone's surprise, he took the whole year again, and he passed, and went on to get his Doctorate. That's determination.
If you look at my first comics, they were not as good as they are now. That's true for everyone I know. You do, you learn, you improve, you keep going.
I think there IS such a thing as talent. We're all better at some things than others. But the world is FULL of unrealised 'talent' because the owners of that talent never put in the hours to make it come to life.
Great topic, important life lesson. You are a wise cheetah indeed!

my art teacher in high school told me that anyone can train to be a great artist, but some people have a greater ability to understand some things in nature without studying them as hard as others to translate them into painting and drawing.  

And because of that, their timeline of improvement is less frustrating, not because it's less work, but because they can grasp what they learn quicker and (no pun intended) draw other important conclusions.

But whether you're born with that advantage or not, a talent can be defined as a commitment to a passion, and not by natural ability or "gift".

In other words, motivation, attention, and patience difine whether or not you are talented at something.  SOOOOOOOO like it or not, no matter how many years of practice, studying, and improvement you have gone through, (by definition and semantics),  you are good at art because YOU HAVE TALENT AND TALENT ALONE XD...

I got a good chuckle from this series, well done... and the image of the fox is pretty amazing.  I have been drawing pretty much everything off and on for the last 30+ years and I am finally comfortable with where I am... still learning though, and fur is well beyond my skills.  Might have to ask you how you did the fur on the fox, if it is your creation.  :)
