Learning to use 3D animation software such as Blender has much in common with learning a musical instrument. Just like learning to play the guitar or piano, you and your fingers will develop a memory for the the keyboard and mouse moves that will allow you to create with proficiency. It will take some patience and some practice, but the reward will be the ability to create amazing objects, images, animations and games with competence and confidence. Whatever talents God has endowed you with, add to it persistence and determination to master the skills to develop those talents.
