Just do with the occasional work hard.

if your art is coming from your hand extremely easily for you, then its time to learn something new or find something to improve.

I have to work hard at it, I have no talent for drawing.

Just trying to get good enough so I can give visualizations to other artists that do it better. Even half way decent pictures can give a world of information to those who work in a visual medium.

I work hard on each scene but I don't practice as much as I should on all areas of art like I did in the past in College....thumbnails, perspective, silhouette, anatomy, characters.....that's partly because I'm too much trying to learn photoshop..... I know i'm a little tough on myself.....lol ......I was a traditional in the past but now digital artist [link]

some of both, with subjects I know intimately it flows most of the time, but I have to work when it comes to new stuff.

Both. An idea will come to me naturally but I have to work hard at drawing it. Other times I'll imagine something awesome but then I can't draw it.

Both, but as of late it's been a lot of HARD work, mostly due to a lack of inspiration and motivation to get things done. I'm in a bit of a slump and have been for a while now

I would LOVE to say it just comes through and it's a easy process. It never is. I over-plan, agonize over details that nobody in their right mind should be concerned with, and projects always take twice as long as I think they would when I initially concieve them. And yet I continually go back to the drawing table or computer [or both] and put myself through it ALL OVER AGAIN. Guess I'm crazy...

If by work hard, you mean it's pretty much all I did for 19 years of my life... then yes.

My inspiration comes from the music I listen to. With out it I get uninspired & cranky. But it all depends on if I'm working with a difficult client. That's when the pressure of working your ass off hits the most.
