Yes you really should try it! It's super fun to 3d model different stuff and with blender you can do almost anything if you just put the time in learning.

My advice is to ignore the fact that it's a huge program and just focus on one thing at a time because the amount of different tools and possibilitiess can be quite overwhelming.

Also when you start modeling something try to make the general shape of that object and slowly add more vertexes (corner points) trying to get it resemeble the thing you want to make as much as you can. I can't keep track on how many times I have tried to do some finer details too early and ended up with a vertex mess that doesnt look good and is horrible to work with. (Imagine trying to draw a vector triangle with 3 corner points vs 50 corner points)

Also really spend some time to learn how to good topology at start so if you want to animate you objects it's way easier (topology is basically the structure of corner point and lines)

But most importantly just have fun and don't worry too much about theory

Appreciate the advice. I'll make sure to follow. Thank you so much
