Having directions is important when creating resin, wood, acrylic paint, or any other type of crafts while you can also add your own unique twist to how you want to do things that which works best for you and what your desired creation is.
You can start from the basics then continue to build your skill level as you go for it is the mistakes that we make to learn from to become our greatest artistic version.
A true artist knows that there is always something new to learn in the universe of infinite possibilities that are just waiting on someone to claim them.
With any project you start there will be times that it does not go as planned however, that does not mean that the project was a complete fail.
Even when an art project did not go the way we wanted it to, it is still not a fail for there were priceless lifelong lessons that we learned during all the experiences we had along the way of becoming an amazing artist.
