I remember getting into long discussions with friends and teachers about this very subject. It basically came down to this. If you want to see/make/learn something badly enough I believe you will become "talented" in the given area. But yeah, not everyone has that kind of drive to just wake up and start learning to draw.
And this thing about natural talent. I've seen many friends that have this apparent natural drawing ability. That's what it seems like at first. Though, when I seriously got to see how they draw and got to know them. I've come to realize they worked their asses off to get to that level.
Simply put they make it look easy because to them, it's fun. That drive to create art should be enjoyable.

Haha, I sucked at doing anything artistic for a good while. Until I began studying my own drawings (all the time), talked with artists, reading art related books and believe it or not, photos of anything and everything. From there I'm able to create anything I want. In a way all it took was me wanting to study art and never stopping that learning process (like Vemp said.)
Jam it back in, in the dark.
