Hi @jvuozzo, as a start you might want to draw things that are already clear geometric forms, like furniture for example. A bed is basically a big box and a sofa might be a few boxes and some cylinders. As for animals, you could start with any, I think. I would recommend choosing an animal that you really like :) to make studies even more fun. It might help to choose an animal with short fur, since the anatomical forms appear clearer then. You could use basic cartoons if you want, but there is a risk that you choose a drawing that doesn't have three dimensional qualities. But if you get to see the construction drawings by someone like Preston Blair, for example, you can learn a lot about using simple forms. ( https://www.traditionalanimation.com/2017/advanced-animation-by-preston-blair/ ) For me the most important exercise in this lesson was to practice drawing boxes and cylinders from different angles. It would be great to see some of the "basic square, rectangles and cylinders from different angles" that you have drawn. Having someone else look at your drawings can help you improve a lot faster. Feel free to tag me @Jesper Axelsson in that post :) When I took this course I was pretty confused by this lesson. I learned how to draw boxes and cylinders from different angles, but I found drawing an animal with simple forms too hard. I felt like I needed more guidance. If you feel the same don't worry. I think you should still try doing some simple form drawings of animals, but for me I got the real grasp of using 3D-forms once I came to the robo bean lesson, and later the mannequinization lesson. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

Great start! Keep on doing tons of gesture drawings! They are really worth your time! I attached an image with some practice tips that really helped me when I took the course. Hopefully they could be of help to you too :) Looking forward to see more of your drawings, Cheers!

Yes, each new category builds upon the last. Assignments that are further along will also help with previous assignments. For example studying the Robo-bean may help with understanding the bean better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFB7deiL-3s&ab_channel=Draftsmem This video explains how to go about learning this course. The answer for the question of if the course follows a logical sequence is indirectly answered at the timestamp: 6:05. I would stick to the structure laid out.
