should i be doing whole lesson 1 in a day or should i be doing lines for couple of days and then eclipse, i am very new to this. please help
You definately shouldn't do lesson 1 in a day, that'd be grinding. The point of this is to do the exercises with intent without rushing. If you're new, to build the habit of giving this course its own time and space in your day in way more important that how fast you are. Take your time, do your best, and when the exercise is finished move on to the next. Even if you feel you failed, just keep going.
The homework takes as long as it takes, and likely more than a day. You should work through it in order, reading/listening to the lessons then doing the exercises as they arise. That means finishing all of the lines section before moving on to ellipses.
The previously completed exercises should be used as short warmups you do before each session.
got it thanks :)
About the warm-ups . . . Uncomfortable mentioned in another discussion that the exercises for Lesson 1 should only be used for warm-ups once you've submitted your work for Lesson 1 and have received feedback. Until then, warm-ups aren't required. So Lesson 1's exercises would become your warm-ups once you begin Lesson 2, and the exercises for Lessons 1 and 2 will become your warm-ups once you begin Lesson 3.
i wouldn't recommend attempting to do entire lessons in one day, especially as you get to the higher levels. try to do the excercises to the best of your ability, no matter how long it takes. it may take a day or a month depending on the levels. dont focus on time too much.
For lesson 1 I would think in terms of doing warm up/practices for a while. Once you get up to speed you can do the homework in whatever timescale you want. The lesson homework is what you submit but, IMV, there ought to be a fair amount of practice and effort before the homework is attempted.
Drawabox shouldn't be about rushing through it as quickly as possible. It takes time for our brains and muscles to adapt and pickup the necessary skills. So it really benefits us to do, say, 30 minutes per day on drawabox rather than cramming it all into one.
Actually the homework should be your first attempts at the exercises. They are practice exercises not finished works and getting early feedback ensures you are practicing correctly. Doing them until they look nice only to find out you were doing them wrong is not efficient. You can always submit them again if you feel you would benefit from more feedback later.
It's better to practice more in order for you to reflect on things that you've overlooked. One thing that made it possible for me to remember the information that I've learned in drawing and perspective is to only focus on one thing. For your situation, I recommend that you practice drawing lines in order for you to somehow master them and at the same time not get overwhelmed throughout the process. Take time for better results :) Good luck!
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.
