"Okay, now I've been carving on this guy for several hours now and you may ask yourself when you're doing this when you are finished or when, or it may not come out like this. Probably not going to come out like this the, the first time you do it or the second or the third. Is it important? Not really. The whole idea is to practice and to just enjoy the process of creating something on your own. If it looks like something that Picasso drew, no one can criticize Picasso's drawings, same thing with your sculptures. Yes some of them are not going to look perfect, it's o.k. it's the process that you're going through is really training your eye how to see and your hands how to play yourself how to have fun, if your not having fun find something else to do. You don't have to be a great artist, all you need to do is enjoy the process of being creative and use your creativity in a way that give you some rewards and if you end up something that looks good, wonderful, if you end with something that's wonderful, you still learn something you still had fun, you still got to express your creativity and you can always do another one and eventually they'll get better and better and better. And someday you'll be able to do one of these and have it turn out as good as this even though this is still crude I'll spend another six hours working on this before I turn it over to the client. So enjoy the process."
