Well the medium is difficult. I think that a lot of Poser artists are pleased just to get a convincing image (believable pose, clothes and textures) and an okay render (okay lighting and shadows). To get beyond that takes a huge amount of skill. First you need the same experienced eye that all other artists require, the eye that can see the difference between a picture that is working and one that isn't, the eye that can figure out what it needs to make it work. That's often regarded as a natural talent, a gift, something you either have or you don't.
A.Y. Jackson was asked which was easier, watercolour or oils.
"It's all difficult," was his reply.
