Hi Glen,
I divide anything I learn and practice in projects, when it's outside of an online class.
A creature design project provides me with all the tasks I want/need to study to achieve the goal.
So for me it never comes to mind, that I would miss anything during that time. I'm focused on the task at hand.
But I do understand that, without the narrow field of a project it can be daunting and overwhelming when it comes to "what to study next".
Splitting a huge goal in smaller ones is a reliable strategy on tackling large goals.
Maybe this might help you too.
Cheers
Pat

Hi there,
drawing is, like any other skill, a set of practice. Everyone learns different so it's a bit hard to give a good suggestion on how to change the way to learn.
For me I always set myself a goal. For example I'm a hobby worldbuilder, so I wanted to create maps and characters and trough that goal it was always clear to me, which skill I'm currently missing. So I took the "project approach". When I want to design a creature, I learn everything about creature design. How to study animals, proportions, how to tackle design etc.
This provides me with intention and a map of what I need for this particular task. Of course there is no shortcut but it provided me always with a meaning, so my motivation is high trough my purpose.
And yes, I'm currently enrolled in Prokos fundamental art class because I need to get my basics improved.
Try to find what brings you fun working towards too.
Cheers.

Asked for help
I will try to do both assignments. It's harder than I thought. Any feedback would be appreciated.
