I just wanted to ask how long did you all work at it and practice before you felt you were halfway decent? I'm getting discouraged, worrying that I may never be good enough to satisfy myself. I know I can make a child smile, but meanwhile, I'm cringing inside, knowing it looks like crud to me. I just finished practicing for 3 hours on myself (face, thigh) and I see no real improvement. I'm not an artist, and it doesn't come naturally to me. I do cake and ...
