Couple thoughts, from someone who picked up a pencil at age 2 and still studies art. I don't buy the notion that some people have it and some people don't, in the sense that "talent" is somehow something you have from birth. Talent is a reflection of how much you work at something. The more practice you do, the more talented you become. Whether this is about drawing, or playing a musical instrument, or throwing a baseball, it's all the same. The desire needs to be in you and you need to actually do something with it. Art will be important to me until I die.
So, yes you can learn to draw. No, you can't do it fast enough to fill your current need.
With regard to your two paintings: the red one is great; the other one, not so much. Some ideas work, others don't. That's why any studio has many unfinished works lining the walls. It's also why the great masters often did numerous smaller, simpler studies to work out their ideas before starting the final piece. I didn't realize that you had done those paintings. I actually used the red one as a laptop background for a while. I think is works best displayed in a horizontal orientation. I'd gladly display it in my house, had you not given it to a girl. Tell her I'll trade her for a pair of shoes. Women love shoes.
