The initial lessons recommend you revisit their exercises as warmup for 5-ish minutes whenever you start drawing. Is there some utility that can help me pick a random exercise I've already completed to warm up with?
You could make one. I found this spreadsheet in the discord that lists the warmups that are available at each stage. It might be a bit dated, though. You could make something to randomly select from that list as appropriate.
Honestly, I am not sure if it would be worth the trouble. In most cases people shouldn't pick randomly. In my experience there are exercises that are a lot more beneficial to do more often than others. At least initially. I believe the standing advice is to lean more on the ones you feel are your weakest.
edit:
Actually I just saw the spreadsheet had a link to this
When I struggle with deciding things I just use Wheel of Names to help me decide things. Just input all the exercises in the names place and then spin the wheel! I haven't done that yet but it's very helpful when I don't know what to do
I recommend you use the website https://rolladie.net/#!numbers=1&high=6&length=1&sets=&addfilters=&last_roll_only=false&totals_only=false so you can choose a random exercise to review.
I have been writing down each exercises as a warmup on flashcards and pull a random one.
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
