Whatever. I'm going to make this thing work
In time you will get better. Don't be afraid to get close with that lens. Like REALLY CLOSE. You should be able to take a pastel's eyes and be able to see just how vibrant the green is in those big glassy eyes. (Just for example.) Also, read read read. A lot of people don't know that's one of the keys to getting better at photography.
