Ah I see, as someone who does a lot of 2D art, I have never been good at getting my ideas on paper, I can draw whatever im looking at, but if it's in my head, it just doesn't work out. Been having a lot of trouble with sculpting my cap, but it's a little reassuring knowing that even you had no background in sculpting 
Thanks for the reply
There is a large misconception people have about artists. "Talented" artists see things and quickly adapt their understanding of representing an object to either best render the object or provide another perspective of representation.
Talented artists simply make better choices with how they decide to represent something in a medium. Everything else is practice practice practice practice... I've had a tools in my hands to make marks on paper, clay, metal, wood, and other objects before I could even read. Every day when people would be outside and climbing trees or playing with action figures I would come in a few hours early and work on depicting 3D objects in 2D. When I wasn't doing that I was waist deep in legos setting up scenes and then imagining how the pieces would move through the scenes... then I would try to draw it.
Compound this sort of behavior every day over the course of more than two decades and you get to understand what sort of background I have. I welcome you to keep pressing on and making advances because it's a craft that's given a great deal of purpose to my life. You will find your work to be either lacking or terrible, and then some work to be great. It's like anything you care about.
Also remember that progress is relative to effort, patience, time and understanding. Without putting forth the effort to change your ways you will not even begin to have the patience to spend the time to figure it out. Whenever you have a project and you consider it from those four points of perspective you will be sure that the piece is of notable quality. Your quality will never fully reflect all four of those aspects because the art is meant to look like a piece of its own it will not introduce itself to a person in a positive manner as full of effort, the test of patience to complete the task, the time it took to complete, and nobody under the sun will understand how/why you did it.
Unfortunately the negative aspects of effort, patience, time, and understanding will ALWAYS show. People will notice a lack of effort, patience, time, and understanding. Yadda yadda, ramble ramble
Hopefully you consider your efforts, patience, time, and understanding when working on your pieces in the future and don't look to others and think to yourself, "if he can do it so can I!"; but instead , think to yourself, "I want to express something in X and I'm going to do it the best I can!" fn(x)=oil,charcoal,pencil,pen,urine,snow,junk,plastic,boogers,rainbows,unicorn blood.
The reason I suggest you think of it in the latter is because you don't have to be discouraged by any task or use the efforts of someone else as an excuse to stand tall and succeed. I think if I have learned to put forth effort, patience, time, and understanding into my work then anyone with the will to do so can step up and make great art. Even keycaps.
