Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I've always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren't enough to express what I want to say, and for those situations I would love to have a simple drawing do the talking for me.

Ooh I actually had the same thing with drawing!

I spent an hour a day for a month trying to draw just the same character following a tutorial.

I wasn't a master, but the difference between "I look like a child scribbling" and "person who looks like they need more practice" really was just a month it felt like.
