Thanks! I worked pretty hard to get them. For all that people say art is about having talent, it's really not true... You have to have the technical skills, too.

You said you have a hard time not thinking about things, right? So maybe that's what you need to do, if you want to keep trying to make art - try to focus on the technical things first.
[Huh. Maybe he was taking the wrong approach. Perhaps, by focusing on the theory behind how to paint, he could actually do something. The technical skills should come easier for him, no? If so, then...maybe he could actually paint]
At this point it's worth a try. I haven't made much progress doing anything else so far.
There are tons of books in the library you could look into! Maybe look up perspective drawing, color theory, lighting... oh, and the golden ratio. The last one's a little more advanced, but it should help you figure out how to structure your compositions, once you get there.

I don't know much about art, but I think it's good.
[Hmmmm!]
You do have the right skills for this. Nice job.
[He certainly approves!]
