Thanks Denzi! Well, all those tutorials for simple models are pretty much well detailed, so it's really hard to not understand it. Even if one tutorial doesn't work for me, there is plenty of others, equally accurate, so I guess the failure is totally on me. And I accept it. We will see how it goes, I will continue practicing Origami and if I don't give up along the way, I will make sure to permanently become a member of this helpful community.

Oh and as for basics - I doubt that's a paper size problem or anything of this sort. I have been following all the instructions for beginners found on the internet and in the books, so I have pretty much covered all the foundations to start origami, before I took upon my very first model. It's just that I seem to be exceptionally bad manually, but seems like Leonard used to be in my shoes as well, and now he is making some really impressive designs. Hopefully, I will be able to match his level someday, and if not - well, no regrets, plenty of others things to do in this life.

So, sorry again for whining. This thread shouldn't be even made in the first place. Hopefully, see you soon!

Okay, thanks for your responses guys. I can see that you have put quite a lot of work to help me figure out the decision, that I should be able to make myself anyway and shouldn't have asked anyone about help. My bad, sorry for that. Anyway, I have decided to give it a go and stick with it for a little bit longer. Not sure how long, we will see. As you said, I will keep doing it until I stop enjoying it. That seems to be the simplest solution. If my streak of failure will continue, I'm sure that I will eventually lose my interest in Origami. While I'm still interested in this art and still take pleasure from it, although not so much as at the beginning, because frankly not being able to make anything can be extremely frustrating. But I will stick with it for as long as I can and then I will make a decision. Thanks everyone for your help!

Hi! I'm fairly new to Origami and totally new to the forum. I have been getting more and more into Origami lately, but to be honest - I'm not good enough at this at all. I keep trying, but I basically cannot complete anything. I've done some simple origamis, that were designed for kids and frankly even that was a struggle for me. Anything above kids level - I haven't completed even one model. Even the Chick, the easy one that was posted here on this forum in the tutorials topic. I feel like I'm good-for-nothing when it comes to Origami and as long as it's a pretty entertaining hobby, towards which I have grew a liking, I just don't know if there is a point in continuing. If I have to spend a year or more practicing just to get something simple done, then...

Besides, as for present, I don't even think that I will be ever capable of completing those models. That's how miserable at Origami I am. I was literally never good with my hands, be it drawing or anything else, I was always one of the worst in my class. Is there a point in continuing learning this art if I have absolutely zero talent? I know, that this is the question, that I should rather figure out myself, but I don't know... maybe I'm just looking for somebody to simply cheer me up.
