Where should I begin?

I've completed lesson 1 and 2 of drawabox and the 250 box challenge. However, rather than continuing (for now) I think I'd rather learn (some) figure drawing first.
Should I do the Learning How to Draw course first? And/or which aspects of it are not covered by drawabox, and which should be known prior to starting the figure drawing class?
Or can/should I dive right into the Figure Drawing Fundamentals?
Or continue on drawabox and finish at least lesson 3 first?
Hey
I think it would be easier helping you if we would know what kind of drawings you want to make.
Draw a Box is quite a hard start and I recommend everybody to do the first two lessons. Having clean lines is really important. If you want you can send me the first two lessons I did draw a box til lesson 6 and had official critiques.
Draw a box covers the topics of penmenship, 3 dimensionality and observation.
I think the first one is quite well done and the first two lessons are awesome exercises. For thr 3 dimensionality part I personaly don't think it is handled great but you might be a person that really gets the lessons there. As for observation well....I'm not a fan of what they did. It's basically just "look closely".
Figure drawing is also a good starting point. Stan has a great cours on it but if you don't want to spend money right now than either watch the yt vids from stan or a great recours is Love life drawing in yt.
Please tell my what kind of drawing/painting you like these are such complex things to learn and can get overwhelming very quickly.
