Should I start over?

6:31 PM, Friday December 15th 2023

Earlier this year I attempted Lesson 1 a second time. I've since then completed it and started doing the 250 box challenge. Problem is, I had a 2 month hiatus and I don't know whether I should continue or start all the way from lesson 1 again. I've completed Lesson 1 twice and I don't want to stunt my progression by repeating it again. What should I do?

Two months really isn't that long of a break - you'll be incorporating the exercises from Lesson 1 into your warmup routine anyway as noted in Lesson 0, so you may as well just jump back in where you were. Note that this is fairly similar to the question directly under yours, so you can look at the what folks have said in response to that as well.

I agree with Uncomfortabale. A two months break is not a lot of time. I advise you to try the 250 boxes challenge. I advise you to simply draw 4 or 5 pages with boxes on it and post it on the discord to get some free feedback. You'll identify potential problems along with possible instructions miss interpretations.

Good luck!

What do you hope to get from starting over? I don't think you should, especially considering you believe you'll even stunt your progress by starting over.

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
