Without talent the end result would suck.
Unless you're tracing something but that sucks even more.
"talent" can be learned, it only can be learned. People who are better at drawing probably had the slightest amount of greater ability when they were younger causing them to attain greater ability as they grew. But someone who doesn't appear to have ability still has the potential - they just have to try. I pity you because you're so spiteful and convinced you are genius when it simply isn't true. Those who are truly great at what they do get there by encouraging their peers, not but putting them down.
As for paint, it works on the same principle as photoshop, they both place pixels on a canvas. The only difference between them is that photoshop has the ability to put down more pixels onto the canvas at once than paint. It also has higher resolution. Either way it doesn't matter what the hell you use.
In the real world these would be considered sketches. your "art" as you call it technically isn't art - unless I'm failing to grasp your higher meanings.
Why don't you take your ego out of the equation and just have fun drawing? If you don't I can guarantee it will be battered beyond recognition before you are through.
It's hilarious how many of these primitive minded troglodytes on this website take this thread waaaaaaay too serious. What else could you expect from the newgrounds forums? rofl.
Afcourse these things aren't my masterpieces, afcourse they're just sketches. They're made for enterainment, and actually mostly to piss allot of people off.
Seriously, look at this thread, all these morons fighting over nothing! It's hilarious!
"UUUHUUUHUUUH HOW DARE YOU TO INSULT MY PHOTOSHOP BUUUHUUUHUU :'("
Anyways, drawing is allot about practice and development, but also about ALLOT MORE.
Interest, imagination, seeing connections between things, looking at the world, etc. etc.
Talent exists, everyone has a talent, if everyone could learn how to paint like Rembrandt then everyone could learn to basketball like Michael Jordan, or learn to sing like Elvis, or everyone could learn to be as smart as Einstein. But you can't, everyone is unique, every human being.
Every human being has his weaknesses, but also his talents.
But never mind, I've met plenty of people saying talent doesn't exist, funnily enough these were the ones that couldn't draw. They said it because they were hoping that they would ever be good at drawing. Drawing isn't something you can learn that easily by some tutorials on some website, or some cheap "LEARN HOW TO DRAW MANGA"books. It needs to be a passion. Perhaps that's all what talent is about, a passion, an addiction to draw, if you don't have that addiction then you probably make lousy art. Just like a good actor is addicted to being on the stage.
But never mind man, you don't know me, all you know of me are these ms paint paintings, you never saw my traditional work, yet you think you know me. Even though every person with a BIT of intelligence would know that calling people who use photoshop and a tablet "dicksmelling shitheads" would be a joke made to piss people off you still think that I was serious.
I mean seriously, "dicksmelling, DICKSMELLING", do you think anyone would use that word when he really means to offend someone?
damnit man.. "OH NO, SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET CLAIMS THAT PEOPLE WHO USE PHOTOSHOP AND TABLETS SMELL PENISSES, I MUST EDUCATE THIS MAN OVER WHAT IS TALENT IN MY OPINION! IT IS MY DUTY!"
You're a real clown
