Hello :) First of all, let me mention that in the title I used the word 'talent' for the reason that what I created and was really inspired by life on the sheet was before I acquired any specific skills. My case is the following - I am 15 years old. I have been painting all my conscious life ... my childhood dream was to become a fashion designer and with it I fulfilled my whole childhood. I really drew things that are impossible for a child who does not give almost all his energy to play in the drawings. Then my dream was displaced by my mind, which convinced me that I needed to change direction to something more lucrative, less depersonalizing, industrially and realistically achievable, such as graphic design, animation and architecture (as my hobby). I study at a school with a strong study of fine arts and painting in particular. Maybe by the time I was 14, my drawings exceeded my expectations after I finished them. I painted what came to me from the inside, and whenever I looked at them at the end, I was inwardly proud of the emotions that are noticeable in them and their end result. When I applied for high school, I hadn't taken any lessons ... I watched the others what techniques they used and I was dumbfounded. I didn't know what to do at all, but in the end my grade was excellent. My greatest strength has become still life. I had excellent grades, I participated in many competitions ... until the new year started. Having problems in my personal life, I had not painted for a long time. And it was as if my talent had disappeared. My works look frivolous, untalented ... as if they were made by a man without any view of art. My imagination develops, my hands do not. Nothing has come out of me for a year. And looking at his old drawings .. they no longer satisfy me, I don't consider them good ... I don't see myself or my objective view-talent in them. I wonder ... did I make the mistake that this is my vocation, that this is my talent just because I made it a habit Can a man lose his talent? Thank you for reading and I apologize for the voluminous speech. Happy Holidays! :)
Talent is not lost, but must be developed and upgraded. It's normal for previous drawings to look less good to you. You grow and change. The fact that you haven't painted for 1 year is no longer so good and try to overcome your personal problems.

The change is in you as a person, a soul. You expressing yourself in the pictures and now as you change it is normal you do not see the same as before. You are born with talent, you don't gain or lose something you were born with. Maybe you are in a moment of "reconfiguration" internal and for that you still have nothing exactly to put on paper / canvas. "Scratch" just like that, indifferent or "confused" without meaning, which also makes sense ... just don't get used to or get used to making "something" from the inside out.
