    All the students that I notice as "talented" are those that love to create
    art. They do it very often on their own. While making the art because they
    love it, they are practicing, and that is when they get technically
    talented. Encourage anyone to do what they love (provided it's a positive
    thing) because they are in for a much happier life . . . put it to him that
    way.
