Post Before & After Drawings Showing Your Progress As An Artist

Hey pandas, I have been always struggling with drawing. Even after practicing it for a while, my drawings still suck. Recently, I watched a professional artist create illustrations and I was completely shocked at how easy and fast she was drawing. Now I feel hopeless.

So my question is – is it a talent you are born with or can you learn it with lots of practice? Post your before and after pics of your progress.
