Natural talent definitely helps to save a bit of time learning but nothing beats practice, no one is naturally talented and producing good work without lots and lots of practice.
I'm close friends with visual artists (fine arts, sculptors, experimental, lights, etc.), musicians, circus artists, and a few other types; a common notion in the arts is that quantity beats quality, if you are starting and judging yourself on creating quality first you'll take much longer to achieve quality. Go for quantity, even more in the beginning, don't judge yourself by your current abilities but look at your lack of quality as guidance to what you would like to get better at.
Play, play a lot with it, if you want to draw then draw a lot of bullshit that feels fun to you, experiment, failing at achieving your vision is not failure, it's just a step towards it.
At least that's what helped me in my experience, and also a lot of the artists I know who are professionals at what they do.
