Its the same with drawing.
Its funny how no one gets confused about lawyers having to practice law, etc. We need better PR.
Blame Hollywood - every movie programmer is just a natural savant (probably on the spectrum) who operates a computer in more or less the exact same way a wizard operates a wand
That's exactly what my mom sees when she can't find her tabs in chrome, and I open edge because I figure that's what she's inadvertently been using since one of the windows updates.
Meh, let her use it, they're the same browser anyway.
Wait until you see the original version of the comic…

To be fair, as someone who cannot see things in my brain at all, there is some amount of innate talent to drawing, but obviously as with everything it takes practice to make it actually good.
Yeah it’s like how I am with mechanical aptitude. I had a bit of a head start, followed by decades of practice and instruction.
Ok, but I've never really seen anyone casually lauding the skills of a lawyer either.
The Onion did in their Amicus Brief, kinda.
Ehh as an artist I disagree. Yes practice helps immensely and you'll only get better with it. But there are absolutely levels of art you won't get to if you naturally aren't that good. You do need talent, too.
There are tons of pieces I could never draw even if I practiced for a billion years, Groundhogs Day style.
