Can anyone become good at drawing( see description)? 10points for most helpful/truthful.?
Is drawing a natural gift, or can you learn to draw?
Yes anyone can draw a stick figure, but let's say you had no previous practice or experience drawing, you certainly are far as you can get from having any skill at all. However, could you learn to become a good artist, to be able to draw anything? (And make it look awsome)
I have wanted to learn for so long, but I am so terrible, I have always wanted to draw, especially creepy horror type themes. I just think maybe it would be a waste of time, I wouldn't be able to achieve this dream. You either have a gift for drawing, or you don't "so don't bother"
Can I get from this:

'You either have a gift for drawing, or you don't "so don't bother"' – Nonsense and self-defeating.
Anyone can be taught to draw.
In your case the first thing to do is put aside your computer and pick up a pencil. Then learn how to draw basic 3D geometric shapes – cube, sphere, cone, cylinder – using these shapes you can create the basics of almost anything you can imagine. Stop trying to draw complex shapes (like a horse) until you can make these shapes – then, looking at a horse, imagine where these shapes would fit – an oval sphere for the chest and others for rump and shoulders, jaw, knees, truncated cone for neck – and so on. Once you have the basic geometric shapes in position you can start to add joining lines/shapes and refine them to create a horse. You can apply this process to anything – always think of the shape as having shading a form that makes it more than a flat block on a sheet of paper.
You will be terrible when you start, nobody picks up a pencil for the first time and produces an amazing image. But you can learn. And you can improve.

It's a learned skill that depends on your hand/eye coordination and how well you observe things.
