There is a level of skill that our hands have to achieve to meet
        
        
          what our brain instinctively knows.
        
        
          A problemwe seem to have as adults is that we often don't want
        
        
          to take the time to go through the learning curve to develop the
        
        
          needed skills. There seems to be a sense of embarrassment or
        
        
          frustration if we can't master what we are attempting the first
        
        
          time out of the gate. Improving your modeling skills is a lifetime
        
        
          journey, so enjoy it and take time to smell the roses.
        
        
          Finally don't beat yourself up if you are unable to achieve the artis-
        
        
          tic level of the masters. We are not all equal in our skills and abili-
        
        
          ties. The goal is to be the best that you can be as a hobbyist. When
        
        
          you do the best that you can, then you are a success.
