There is no talent and there is no effort. There is only skill. It took me years to obtain all the techniques I use to make what resembles industry standards. Lots of "young artists" just keep repeating the same flat, unshaded, rough pieces without ever trying to learn new things and it honestly kind of irks me that they don't even try to improve themselves.
I am this, it's not that I don't try to improve, I just never know the correct things to learn and feel like I'm getting nowhere. In other topics I learn much quicker, I worry I'm just not meant to draw.
What sort of techniques and styles have you studied?
