Thank you very much for your valuable words. I'm glad you liked it.

I believe that some talents are absolutely innate. I can list many examples such as sculpture, painting, the ability to paint things realistically, drawing comic book characters in high detail. These are not skills that can be learned later with some work. However, I think we can improve ourselves in some areas and certain parts by practicing and experimenting.

Never feel bad. I can't paint well either. It's always nice to try something and make an effort. Have you ever made a diorama? I don't know but I can say this. Wood and styrofoam offer a more comfortable working opportunity, especially since they hold acrylic paint very well. And of course, there are no brush marks left. Mistakes made with paint can be easily covered.

However, the subject of painting figures and sculptures is much different and difficult. A material that does not accept mistakes. Many people use an airbrush, which is an advantage, but you need to know how to use it very well. There are many situations such as giving shadows and creating the real skin color.

It is necessary to spend a lot of time with the paints and try which one creates what color. Since some of the ready-made materials are very expensive, finding something with our own means at home is much more economical and helps us improve ourselves.

In summary, we all have different abilities. We are discovering some of these, some are waiting to be discovered. I would love to have the ability to sculpt and paint, but I don't have any of these talents.
