Drawing as well, here. I never was going to be able to enough time to be good, but I took lessons, read a lot of books, and practiced quite a decent amount in both traditional and digital forms, and I've either gotten worse or learned to notice the flaws in what I was doing more. There's some really fundamental skill related to taking the visual composition of something apart into its components, and I can do that mechanically, but whatever's necessary for art just isn't something I've been able to grapple with. I can trace fine (or at least not so bad as to be actively painful to watchers), so I've started using some of those resources for other tasks, like woodblock or airbrush work, but that first step is just beyond me.

I'm not very good at woodworking, either -- I'm too afraid of the tools -- but I've kept at it, since it's useful even if you're awful. Will admit I haven't made anything like a full furniture set, though, either.

Stained glass was one I thought would be fun, and I can do it, but was never really interesting enough to keep my attention after three or four pieces.
