Jimmie,

So much better!

You will see, that just by doing lots, how quickly you will improve. It seems so trite, but that is the key. It is like ballet dancers practicing their steps over and over again until they leap out on stage. Today, most artists are not willing to put in the time, because they think, it will interfere with their self expression. Can you imagine an untutored dancer, thrusting herself on stage at the ABT to express herself during a performance. However that is what is accepted today in the arts.

Models always move, wiggle, droop, yawn etc. If you EVER find one that has the ability to stand still, treat her like gold.
