An elf on a coffee break and an elf down the chimney.
Like all my other submission to this challenge, I did the sketches in max 30 minutes. So it's really not the best I can do. My line quality is really bad, I really need to work on that! :(

Santa needs a little help and Santa in the sky (supposed to be a reflection in a window).

I'm afraid you're clueless when it comes to the notion of talent. Talent is not just some innate god-given ability, it is also the ability to learn. You show us you have been able to learn, to conclude you don't need talent? Yes, every Tom, Dick and Harriet can learn art, but some will learn so slowly they will never achieve a useful skill level in this life. Please leave telling there is no such thing as talent to third-rate schools who sell the idea that art skills can be bought. You are better than that!
If you're unable or unwilling to learn, what are you doing here? In my opinion, talent = knowledge + skills = learning + practice. There's no magic talent you are born with.

Here are my assignments I did earlier this year. I work on this course when I have time and motivation! So far I have completed these lessons: Visual style part 1 + 2, Structural style part 1 + 2. Thank you Stephen for this awesome course. Your book is also super useful. I can't recommend them enough!

Here's my value scale. I used the suggested pencils (2H, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B) plus a Mars Lumograph Black 8B for the darker shades.
