Lately I've wanting to get my passion into building. I've tried many times on my own I seem to fail. I've asked alot of experts but they seem to be busy. Currently I don't have enough c for paying sessions but if you do for free, I'll mean alot to me. Also please send me the pics of your amazing build so I can decide wether ill pick you :) Thanks!!

I'm trying to improve my building skills as well, good luck with that. :)
I will give you advice to becoming a better builder and not fail :).
1. It is important to be realistic, it is good to be ambitious and to push yourself beyond what you are able to do but you also need to keep your projects manageable. Start with smaller builds and realize not all ideas you may be able to execute with your current skill level.
2. Know why you are building. If you are trying to build for the wrong reasons like to gain fame you will never last as a builder. You need to build because it makes you happy and helps you express yourself.
3. Being critical of your builds and yourself is your worst enemy. Never compare yourself or think your builds are less when looking at other builders/builds. Your builds are important because there is going to be someone who looks at it and be inspired in some fashion. In my opinion there is no "Best" builder, just builders with different skill levels, styles etc. The only builder you should aspire to be better than is the builder you were yesterday.
Building is a lot of work but very rewarding. You become better by looking at other builds and trying new things. There is nothing a builder can teach you persay directly. You just need to build and try new things, skill will come naturally with time. I have been building for over three years and my builds now vs. then look ten times better. Don't get to fussy over making a build perfect, you need to always keep moving forward to grow. Good luck :D!
If you want to be more advanced,build something massive.
GRTZ , Koek
You'll find a lot of huge scale builds, Like a giant horse, parrot, stuff like that. Really big and detailed stuff.
That's the best of that style I've seen on cc, so you might get inspiration from it.
Though these kinds of builds take a lot of time
To the topic.
Practise makes perfect. You should try building apps/software too!
it's got an underside of a sculpty sphere as a ceiling ;-;
well, storm...you don't need paying sessions or months old of training to, if you want the term "git gud" at building. it all boils down to grey's two pictures. your passion for your work and for building as a whole generally will gradually evolve. you just need to keep building.
youtube videos also work sometimes, like watching videos like these:
(shh i know it's minecraft but where the hell would you find any more cubic castles content other than gdog nowadays y'know what i'm sayin?)
it helped me alot, but both my houses look like turd
but it's still okay, this is before and after i watched the video
and using picture references for your builds:
(snowflake so big camera can't fit the actual snowflake and even blurs it out)
yuiji is also right on using other software. *cough cough* cracked minecraft
it really depends on you on how you're going to build, but build it your way™
(and sorry no i cant be your mentor grey is the better way to go and i've got school)
Because I didnt get wut u mean
You just do you.
