Fine art types tend to denigrate comic art (and pretty much all commercial art) and view it as inferior. There's still a negative stigma associated with comics but attitudes are slowly changing and museums are warming up to them. I think Araki and some other comic artists were exhibited at the Louvre and there was a US centric exhibit a few years ago as well. Still, you wont find the name of any comic artist in most art history books and they're not often given a fair shake when it comes to their drawing chops.

The difference is that skill actually exists whereas the concept of talent was made up as
A: an excuse for artists that refuse to put in effort and choose not to devote their time and mind to improving so they can say that its not their fault they suck; and
B: as a way for good artists to feel intrinsically superior to other people (usually professionals in more relevant fields) even though anyone could do what they do just as well as them if they chose to
Basically the myth of talent is just a way for fatalistic insects to justify their lives without recognizing that people have the ability to be skilled at pretty much anything if they choose to

working hard doesn't mean you will make good art. You can work on your fundies and get good skill wise but your art can still suck. Some people are born with better taste and no amount of skill will change that, it's like your personality. It's so fucking stupid to think there's no such thing as talent. do you think the guy that enjoys drawing my little pony gay porn is ever going to be deemed talented in the general public eye? no he's an example of how we're all different, we're not the same, and talent exists fucking retard.

And no I don't use talent as an excuse retard, I draw all the time and I love it.

i mostly agree but will also say that taste can be developed but one has to have the personality that makes him strive for it in the first place, and we have little power to choose our own personality. it is a cruel paradox. i think of taste like you say as personality, being made by upbringing, circumstances, early exposure to good art, encounters, what we read. even our own outward appearance influences the way others treat us which influences our ways of thinking of ourselves and the world. therefore it is often said to be innate outside of skill because the factors that shape it are part of ordinary life that have accumulated from before we ever had the desire to create art, the forces of which are not to be easily challenged. it seems more miraculous for he who habitually draws mlp porn to repent himself to art that is chaste than someone of an already appropriate habit.

we often think of skill as something purely attained through one's own ability, but it requires luck to access resources to learn from. someone who has access to live models may improve more than someone who studies just as hard. connection with others who share similar goals makes learning more expedient. etc.

some will say talent is the rate of improvement. surely he with a natural intellect fit for learning see relationships between things without difficulty. some relate it with taste because both alike are recognized as above mere craft. what shall we say besides that one may improve quickly but still create bland works in the end? there's also the matter that some try to develop taste in art (sovl), and it may be more difficult than learning to draw but the process evades explanation. i have no exact answers or if even contemplation on the subject generally helps or is useless. yet i will say that emulation of great art is something anyone can do that is at least better than drawing mlp porn. but then how do we recognize what art is great and why do it if your goal is coom?

is this your logic pattern?
for a drawing to be "technical" it has to be about "technology"?
So a drawing of a tree or a human body cannot be "technical" unless it's drawn in a really robotic way?
Have you considered maybe the "tech" in "technical" has more to do with "technique" than "technology"?

He would be relevant if we were still in the 1900s anon. If you look beyond the flaccid drawing and facile subject matter you can see that his lines are nothing special. Mentioning him is laughable. Look at the lines of someone like Cy Twombly. You can see the energy and feel the inertia. Each individual line tells a story of its' own and yet the meaning of the whole is not lost.
