I think you are talking about the whole finished product? Well I think I can make pretty decent animations but on the technical side, lighting is the difficult part for me. Due to my lack of skill on the rendering technical sides I decided to stray from "realism" and go more into stylism. I am getting more into that, though. Right now I am coming up with a nice "realistic " look for a character I am working on (see image)
