I wish I was a good artist. Hell, even a halfway decent artist. Some of the stuff I've seen on the internet is just so good. It must feel amazing to be able to express your love for something through fanart, or to create your own world, or portray your emotions artistically. I'm baffled by how fast amazingly good fanart shows up on sites like pixiv after a game's announcement, for example. If you're talented enough, you can whip up a piece of art in a matter of hours, sometimes less.

I really envy people with artistic talent.

Musical composition.

 

[NZOO]

Sing RnB

 

[FloatOn]

I wish I were better at music.

I have a basic knowledge of guitar and piano but for whatever reason I can't seem to get over the plateau of where I'm at.

 

[The Lamonster]

I wish I was a little bit taller

 

[delSai]

I wish i could draw stuff. I would love to just draw stupid comics of my childhood characters that i made up.

 

[Mr.Swag]

Unlimited confidence.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

I wish I was a little bit taller

I wish I was a baller.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Exceptional understanding of physics. What an awesome talent to have.

 

[highrider]

I would love to have a great vertical leap. Just look like my unassuming self but be able to bust out highlight dunks at will.

 

[Shmuppers]

I wish I had more artistic talent. I envy artists.

 

[K.Jack]

I can't draw. The way people can picture it in their head then coordinate with their hand mystifies me.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Observing something and being able to apply it perfectly. Also strong joints, so I can ball and run without getting held back by knee injuries.

I recently saw Christopher Titus perform at the American Comedy Club here in San Diego and some drunk bimbo in the front started heckling him.

Titus DESTROYED HER!

He was making so many jokes right on the spot out of thin air, and they were all hilarious. He even found ways to work in burns on her later on in the show.

I'd give anything to have even half of the amazing wit and improv talent I saw that night.

 

[acheron_xl]

I wish I could draw.

More specifically, I wish I could make good vector graphics and other fine digital art. I'm good at composition and design, but whenever I've had to Photoshop something together, I have to work around the giant holes in my skill set.

 

[Steamlord]

I'd settle for anything really

 

[GutsBlade]

I wish I was a little bit taller

I second this being 5'5 sucks. As far as talents go, I wish I could be an amazing director. Love film and have always wanted to pursue it.

 

[highrider]

Feeling better about being an artist looking at this thread.

 

[demosthenes]

Piano.

 

[shinobi602]

Lasting more than 5 minutes.

 

[liliththepale]

I wish I was more hospitable. Sometimes I'm very closed off and selfish. Also, I want to learn French.

 

[Shmeagatory94]

Wish I could be fucking GREAT at basketball lol like NBA level. I think I'm good, but I want to be able to be the best!

Just like rap battles, a lot of the content in improv comedy was developed previously, and stored as part of a repertoire to be used at the right time. So it's not so much 'out of thin air' as it is something finally getting its chance to surface.

 

[dark_prinny]

Drawing and painting.

 

[The Lamonster]

I wish I was a baller.

I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her.

 

[Vashetti]

 

[Cooter]

I wish I could sing really well.

Athletic ability.

It's fucked up how obnoxious audience members try to make stand up about them

[True Savior]

I wish i could draw.

I hate people who draw amazingly well and completely waste their talent.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Drawing.

Much of every other 'artistic' talent is being able to externalize what's in your head anyway, except music, but oh well.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

goat whisperer

 

[Cartoons]

Dancing. I'd love to be able to go to a party and just reveal my inner Louie Spence, rather than dance like somebody's Grandad if my girlfriend ever asked me to.

 

[Conor_Fool]

Coding!

You don't need talent in order to become a good artist. Hard work, dedication and passion are the main prerequisites for being a good artist. Talent certainly helps, (and without it, it's pretty much impossible to reach the highest tiers of artistry) but those 3 qualities are the reasons why those individuals you mentioned can come up with awesome fanart in a matter of hours.

 

[megatronium]

Ignorance on some subjects.

Not that I can't be ignorant b- I think there's a degree of that in everyone.

...but sometimes knowledge gets in the way of enjoyment. TV shows and how videogames work are an example.

 

[FStop7]

Drawing and painting. My dad's a great artist. So are my uncles. Several other relatives, too.

I can't draw for shit.

It makes me so mad.

 

[Anth0ny]

definitely dancing.

everyone appreciates a good dancer.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

this skill is not hereditary. Don't sweat it. Practice hard.

 

[Sch1sm]

I wish I could hit a C6 any day every time.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Being able to easily draw and easily pick up foreign languages.

 

[jesu]

I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her.

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

 

[CountAntonius]

Guitar.

 

[Oberon]

Writing. I would give up all my artistic skills if it would make me better at writing stuff.

Let's trade! (Not that I'm a spectacular writer or anything...)

 

[Dilly]

This!

Talent for sports.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Writing. I would give up all my artistic skills if it would make me better at writing stuff.

Weirdly I'm the exact opposite. I'm running into the issue of finding a cover for my book and I can't draw one for shit. Makes self publishing way more expensive than it needs to be.

 

[JustenP88]

I wish I gave a shit.
