Nice to see you've learned part of the creative process, and one that applies to anything. There's a quote I remember from somewhere, it goes something like "If you want something, you must work for it." Basically, if you don't practice what you're bad at, you're not going to get better at it.

Thanks for the kind words my man. Remember to never judge your picture while you are making it. Heck you can't even really pas judgment after it's done. You have to take a LONG time away from it before you can look at it objectively (whether its something you don't like about it, or DO like about it). The longer you are away from it the clearer you judgment gets, it can take weeks or even years. Keep at it in the mean time.
