There are two things most people require to be a strong artist.
The right lessons. Think of it this way. There are good habits and bad ones when learning to play basketball, cook local dishes, play guitar, even talk to the opposite sex. If you get the right lessons on the good habits, then that's part 1.
Devotion. Not practice. Practice is a little bit of work here and there. Devotion is doing nothing else until you're as good as every person you admire in that field.
That's the path of being an artist, my friend. :) It's a hard path, but a good one!
I remember you telling me many years ago that to be a strong artists, one must also learn (1) how to look properly, as in really SEE, and you taught me some techniques of seeing light and shadow for example, which was completely different from how I used to look at things as lines and shapes (2) how to train your hand to move properly and express what you wish accurately and not draw weird shit :)
I sorta have to agree with @teenovision. You can do anything you set your mind do but we are born with certain talents that allow us to be better at some things than others. Our brains are slightly differently wired after all. Without talent, you're more likely to be less motivated, too. The less motivated you are, the less you practice. But even if you're not good at something and you practice the hell out of it to get better, you won't get as good as someone who has a 'talent' for that thing you're trying to excel at.
i m agree with @teenovision that drawing is a very difficult i want to be an artist i wish that sketching but still could not.

@teenovision No it's not. :) But as you get the hang of it it's a pretty fun task!

All I want to say is that drawing needs lot of patience, research and creativity it is not child's play
