You may be artist but I don't think you understand the term, "art," and, "artist." Being an artist of any kind doesn't require a gift, it requires a drive to learn and patience enough to take what you've learned and apply it as your own artistry dictates.
I can sketch and draw and paint very well. I can do it because my mother did it and the only reason I started at 5 years old is because I wanted to do something with mom, and I happened to keep practiceing it. As far as drawing/painting I've witnessed many people who didn't really show much promise (IMO) and in a few years of art classes drew as good if not better than me.
The definition of art, really means that their are not strict rules you can follow to be just as good as someone else who is already considered great. The, "art," part of it, is where the person learns the basics and learns how to turn them into something special.
The same thing applies to martial arts. I started them when I was 15, now 38. when I started I was a skinny unathletic kid that who was very uncoordinated. But, again I really wanted to learn a MA, because I loved it. I now have a couple of black belts and belts of varying colors from other martial arts. I teach and quite frankly can kick the crapola out of the average joe in a fight hand to hand.
I would argue that there is no such thing as talented and as gifted, only the determination to learn and do what it takes to meet your goals. I think most people use the terms, "gifted, and, "talented," as an excuse not to try things they think they would fail at.
