Here's an example my art talent:
A week or so ago, we did a pottery project (not on the wheel) in my art class. I was trying to make a bowl, and it looked deeper when the clay was wet. When it dried, it ended up looking like an ash tray.
) "Ashbowl"!!!!! 
My grandparents weren't happy with the choices my mother was making at the time. They were control freaks and if you didn't do something the way they wanted, then it was "bye-bye." She decided to convert and they weren't happy. She decided to date my father and they weren't happy. My grandfathers were friends in college and my maternal grandfather STILL did not like my father. She got married at 19 and moved out, smart woman. And yes, they are still married 28 years later. The sad part about all of it is that my great grandfather set up trust funds for all of his grandkids to go to college, and none of them did. She tried to dictate what my mom's older sister did. She only went for a semester because she hated the school. After a semester, my grandmother told my mother that she "didn't have the money". My uncle got a girl pregnant and married her. Ironically, my mother is the only one married still out of her siblings. Anyway, my grandmother died three years ago and we found out that she gambled away all of the money. She was addicted to the lottery, and my grandfather had no clue. My grandparents did not speak to my mother for 25 years, basically until my grandmother died, and not from my mother not trying either. She tried calling them, she tried talking to them, but then after I was born and they didn't care (didn't come to the hospital, didn't call my great grandparents to tell me I was born, etc.), she decided she was done trying. She and her dad talk now, which is nice. Her mother was the problem unfortunately. My grandfather is interested in my brother since he is the only grandson. I'm just another granddaughter.
We think he's got an eidetic memory and perfect pitch, and probably engineering skills. It's just a matter of figuring out how to get it out of him.
I learned from a book actually. I had guidelines but I erased them. I have an entire "How to draw" book that I got in 3rd grade. I just don't have a lot of natural ability. I can draw Minnie too.Sorry, but I had to come back to this. I think your rendition of Mickey is actually very cool...everything "Mickey" is there...the smile lines, the tongue, the cheeks, etc.!
Every animator that there ever was at Disney, even though there were some basic rules to follow, always added there own flair to him. He was always evolving. You drew what your minds eye saw, and there's no doubt it's Mickey!
But, for your own satisfaction, if you want to draw him a little closer to how you think he should look, all ya' gotta' do is just google somethin' like "How to draw Mickey Mouse", and you'll learn it in an afternoon.
My first year anni. for bein' back at the firm was on Feb. 11th. Had my performance review today.
Got myself a 10% pay raise!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEHHHAAAAAWWW!!!!!!
Retroactive back to the 11th...!
This already surpasses my artistic ability.
Mine too.
She's awesome! Wish I could draw, but it took me forever to learn to even draw Mickey. It's a real talent. Hope she sticks with it.

I can draw a pretty good cartoon face and a pretty good cartoon pig head, but that's about it. The pig thing I made back in my "glory days" or art (aka 5th grade).
I can draw some pretty good stick figures when I concentrate all my effort into it.
