Hi, sorry I burnt out. Now I am planning to get back, but not sure how to get back. Should I restart from lesson 1 or start from next task (250 boxes challenge)?? I have nowhere to ask this question.
Hello, sorry to hear that.
May it helps hearing that throughout the course I had some burn outs too.
It is important to understand how you want to challenge yourself and more important what's your goals + how much time you can/want really to dedicate to the lessons.
I started the everyday method following the course strictly but then something clicks.
I know that may one day I will be redoing it all may paying and being reviewed by 'Uncomfortable' himself.
Double work? Yup, for sure but at least I'm in line with my decision and fine with that.
I follow schedules only for important things, so more in this case, I'm not a person that will be aiming of an everyday thing plus as an already a self thought artist I want to improve my art but, for now, not professionally so maybe this method is not the best for me but in general I'm okay of doing it solo with the rollercoaster flow with its ups and down 'cause it's working for me.
The best will be following the thing as said but I think everyone has to find his own path.
Anyway, responding to your question, if it was max 3 months I think it will be okay of may doing like 50 boxes and then be back on for the review again but as 1 year passed by, if you really want to follow the course, it will be better restarting.
Wish you the best :)
Thanks for your comment. I have already restarted and this time going slow at the beginning. I am trying to fit this in my current schedule as well as make this a discipline so that I won't burn out again. So far it is working.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
