First of all I love saying that to people... I've been drawing only for 4 years, before that time it was only some doodles in copybooks and only from time to time, not more. I wasn't into drawing at all, my peers could draw better than me. The interesting thing is that I learned everything in 4 years. I don't consider myself a good artist yet, there is still many things I don't understand and I'm unable to draw well but I'm constantly learning some new ones :) To become a good artist you don't need miracles or talent. You need good attitude and work. My early pictures was so bad that most random furry artists here or at FA were much better than me that time. So if you want to draw, and really are prepared to spend much time on it, you don't have to worry. You will learn everything. People's worst thing is thinking that it's so called "talent" or that "I will never be as good as him"... wrong attitude... you put a barrier for yourself... what for? Isn't it better to say "I will be better than him someday and until that time I should practise and learn" :) I wrote a tutorial about good attitude to art and stuff... though I'm not sure if people like reading text... There is not much of it but still...
I'm honored that you commented here so nicely :) Reading comments like that always make my day ^_^ Thank you...
This tutorial is still pretty lame hun and I plan to make a better one in the future... Also you've got heads only here - nothing more. I will draw tutorials for other things later I guess :)... Still I'm happy that it helps some people :)
One advice... When drawing don't try to redraw... really... Instead try to maintain proper proportions between that what you want to draw next and that what you have drawn already. If you try to copy line by line your picture will be misshaped, off and unproportional. Always put features according to what YOU drew, not what your reference (or tutorial shows). If you put your muzzle in a bit different direction than in the tutorial and try to redraw eyes exactly from the tutorial you might find that they don't follow the direction of the head. That's why tutorials and references should be used only to help you understand the shape, proportions, size of elements, colors.
PS: don't say "less talented" because it sounds as if were uber-talented or something which is of course not true :) Everything is just learnt.
