No problem.

If you were to start any of the challenges it would be the texture challenge and I recommend you tackle it slowly while doing other lesson work, maybe a texture a week.

The cylinder challenge is for after you've completed lesson 5 and before lesson 6. The wheel challenge is between lesson 6 and 7. As for the chest challenge it's for after you've completed lesson 7 as it's a design challenge.

I of course can't stop you from trying them but we highly recommend not doing them just yet. Lesson 1, the box challenge and lesson 2 are introductions to tools you'll be using and lesson 3 is when you begin to use them with more intent. Tackling additional challenges right now just risks burn out.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you do try them they wouldn't qualify for submission seeing as how you're meant to submit work to the best of your current abilities and by the time you get to those challenges you should be much better at them after tackling the upcoming lessons.

Hope that clears things up, if not feel free to for more clarification.

Ah okay, I misunderstood, I thought those challenges were after I finished lesson 2.

Alright, will follow your recommendation regarding the challenges. Just a clarification if I do got to finish the texture challenge first before lesson 3. Would my submission for texture challenge be qualified for official submission ?

Yes, but if that were the case you probably wouldn't have spread it out enough amongst the other lesson work. Most students who do get through the texture challenge submit it closer to the end of the course, doing a row of the challenge every week or two.

Alright thanks, noted on this.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
