Clarification on grinding

2:01 PM, Wednesday August 19th 2020

I assume that grinding to perfection implies that you already avoid the common mistakes listed on the homework pages and that you are grinding for the purpose of getting better at the exercises. Though, if your work has many common mistakes that could easily be corrected by reading the homework pages, or in the case that you misread the instructions and did not fulfill the intended purposes of the exercises, would that warrant a restart?

I have already finished an exercise and reading the instructions again I have realized that I have not followed them precisely; should I redo it?

Furthermore, I see that previous homework of mine still has space for more work and I was wondering if filling this space out would constitute as grinding as well.

i think you need to look for the reason why you want to redo it if it's because you want to get to perfection so it's grinding but if it's not your reason but you feel you didn't do the exercise do it again. but if this time (after you read all the instructions carefully) you also feel you need to redo it it's grinding. about the thing you mention that you have more space from the last exercise you can look at the homework example it's need to be around the same amount of let's say boxes and whatever

have a good day!

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
