Have you looked into miniature/model painting? You could probably make a killer course for people who want to get into airbrush.

I recently purchased the 'Introduction to Figure Construction' course but haven't started it yet. Looking at this gesture course, it seems logical to complete this course first as there seems to be some overlap with the other one. Is that correct? Thank you!
Building your draftsmanship skills as well as understanding and demonstrating form are very slow skills to accumulate. You might as well start now. The time will be passing regardless. It doesn't need to be in the context of constructing figures if you don't want to.

About how many assignments will there be? And will the critiques be in video form?
•
21d
There will be 5 assignments and 5 Critique videos! Assignments will be on Proportions, The 16 Line approach to gesture, Master studies, Difficult Poses, and The Shape Method.
Hope that helps!

Here is a breakdown of how concept artists and game designers can use 3D tools when working out ideas:

I just happened to watch this today and thought it fit well with this latest lesson.

By the way in another note. I would love to see a video explaining the differences and nuances, and maybe a little bit of history on the other projections that were mentioned: axonometric, oblique, parallel, isometric, etc. Are there any rules to use one over another? I assume these all relate to technical drawing for engineering, product design, and arquitecture...still I think it would be a good knowledge for a well round education on Perspective to have. And who better than Marshal to enlighten us with a piece of drafting history?
I found this diagram on Wikipedia. It is useful as a quick guide.

For the life of me I couldn't keep from smudging the 2B/4B pencils with my triangle. Next time I may try my Isographs instead.
Tools used: T-square, 30/60 triangle, 2H, 2B, 4H, 4B, 0.3mm, 0.5mm mechanical pencils, electric eraser, and bond paper.

You can get a ton of free high quality 3D asset scans from quixel.com to use for this memory game.
You'll need to make an unreal engine epic games account and snag them before 2025. Epic is going to put them behind a paywall after 2025 but if you "purchase" them now(for free) then you'll have them available to you forever.
This video shows you how to do it.
