I, quite honestly, rushed the lesson 1 first exercises, both by sometimes skipping things, or not applying the 50% rule, i later corrected this, however, i feel i'm missing things because of that, so, should i restart fully? or should i restart up until the point in which i corrected my improper use of the lessons? since many exercises (such as the ghosted planes) where done wrong
I think that if you recognize that you didn't really use the material as it's intended to be used, and are making a singular choice to step back and start over to address that (rather than deciding whether or not to restart an individual task, and doing so over and over), then that may be a good idea to ensure that you are in a better position to get the most out of the course. I would just advise against making it a habit.
Michael Hampton is one of my favourite figure drawing teachers, specifically because of how he approaches things from a basis of structure, which as you have probably noted from Drawabox, is a big priority for me. Gesture however is the opposite of structure however - they both exist at opposite ends of a spectrum, where structure promotes solidity and structure (and can on its own result in stiffness and rigidity), gesture focuses on motion and fluidity, which can result in things that are ephemeral, not quite feeling solid and stable.
With structure and spatial reasoning in his very bones, he still provides an excellent exploration of gesture, but in a visual language in something that we here appreciate greatly, and that's not something you can find everywhere.
