Hey @Eric
Absolutely!
Many tutorials you see aren’t a true reality of 3d modeling.
Many ‘YT’ tutorials in particular are rehearsed and edited extensively making 3d modeling look so easy and often on a second screen a finished version that they are just coping, showing only the ‘How’ and none of the ‘Why’.
The reality is it takes loads of patience and practice, and there is a lot of problem solving involved in the process and should be included in all tutorials worth their salt in my opinion.
With great experience comes greater knowledge, helping the decision process when problem solving.
