I'm not so certain that illustrators need much talent anymore (I'm an illustrator). It's a cyclical business and very fad driven and right now the fad is for stick figures. They're cheaper & faster to draw. I nthink the only real difference between artists and illustrators is that the latter must finish their work in a certain amount of time. It's a constraint that focusses the mind wonderfully. Manet was right … Benevenuto Cellini did the same, he used to visit late paying clients, sword in hand, and demand his fee, at once!

Apparently to be an artist you only need a muse but to be an illustrator you're probably going to need real talent. and isn’t that true.

Yes, I agree, especially with the last two paragraphs. It is all about ' unlearning' the conditioning and about NOT being afraid to make mistakes. To exult in the abandon of making a mess on paper like one did as a child. All the more reason to draw! Wonderful, thoughtfully written post. Yes, I agree, especially with the last two paragraphs.
