Art potential? maybe...
At the beginning of this past year, I really got into drawing. I don't know why, but it started with random doodles and ended with some pretty good realistic and some cartoons. My dad said I have a talent, but I didn't think so. Eventually, I just ran out of inspiration and started drawing crappy again :[ I'm confused, how did I go from talent to no talent so quickly? And now I want to start drawing again, but it's so bad it's discouraging. It's like some part of me WANTS to draw, but the rest of me doesn't... how can I make myself love drawing again? I just don't know...

i think you just lost your muse, or what sanwookong called a "genius moment". you just got uninspired but it sounds like drawing is really something you love. you just need something new to inspire you. so go out and find that! :) you can get art books that can show you everything from drawing amazing realistically to different kinds of cartoons. there are just so many styles out there. or take a class. find cartoonists or artists that inspire you and try to use thier style. or make cartoons of real life situations. i don't know if anyone can tell you where specifically to find your muse, just start looking. it seems if you have thiss kind of will to do it, it shouldn't be hard to find. well...good luck with the artistic endevours. hope i helped a bit! :D

This actually happens alot with people.You get these spurts where you want to do stuff and then you loose them.Also the way you were thinking you werent too good could have some part of it also.
If you really want to, just look at some art drawings and get yourself into wanting to draw, thats what always happens with me, like i'll be watching a baseball game on tv and then i want to play my playstation baseball game.
Best of luck.
Hope I helped.

Everyone has, what I call, "genius moments", where one seems to have so great of an inspiration that one actually suddenly becomes good at something. Even I have those moments every now and then.
The key to opening these moments is to find out what inspires you the most. You "lost your talent" probably because you got bored or probably you have lost what I call "the artist's inspiration". Try relaxing your mind and think of the things that you like to draw the most. After doing this for a while get a sheet of paper and start drawing whatever it is that comes to your mind. I do this trick often whenever I feel that I've lost interest in drawing or if I just can seem to find any ideas on what to draw. (specially if a deadline is due)
Or try this one, whenever I get mentally blocked,
I watch some anime on the net, that usually gives me some ideas, I don't know if this will work for you but its well worth trying.
Oh, and i also find it helpful to see some other people's artwork. It always seems to inspire me to be a better artist. If you want to see other people's work you can visit deviantart.com just to get you inspired.
Hope this helps...
Good luck on your drawing career
Contact me when you get better

First, you should just stop for a long time. Week or two or longer if you think you should.
Then you should start over and start simple. Doodle. It should start the process all over again. Its most likely just a loss in ideal inspiration. Just stop so your brain has time to observe the world for a bit and then itll go back.
