hey man, im in a similar position too but we can do 10 things at one time so, we do on thing at a time and then move on to next one.

so i would say do figure drawing for as long as you can without adding contour lines, checkout proko's figure drawing on youtube, love life drawing on youtube and https://www.proko.com/course/figure-drawing-fundamentals/overview,

stan is a good master at what he does, his courses are pricey but worthful.

so, try it out if u want, some stuff is free, some paid.

I've actually watched both the proko figure drawing course and love life drawing . Sorry I wasn't really asking for lessons but a way to judge lessons, to make sure that I am improving. Like how drawabox has an explanation for each exercise.

Take lovelifedrawing for example: up to lesson 8 its about making a complicated stick figure and then lesson 9 :draw the rest of the picture. A hyperbole sure but there is still a huge gap in skill there. I think maybe its because I haven't practiced the other lessons enough but I don't see how those are preparing me for this. I have similar questions about proko.

Basically I worry that these courses assume I have a certain degree of skill so it's like I skip a step and I am now wasting my time.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
