I'm doing official critiques for Drawabox -- I'm on lesson 3 and, based on the improvement I've already seen in my drawing ability, can't wait to continue the course.

That said, I had a question about the challenges. Of course I want to complete through lesson 7, but the challenges I am unlikely to attempt are:

  1. 25 texture

  2. 100 treasure chest

    Of course, someday I could come back to these challenges, but I feel like I've only gotten this far in the course because I've been very intentional about my timelines, so "maybe someday" is probably not ever going to happen.

The website is a little unclear if these are treated as optional or not by the course since they seem that they are not prereqs for anything. Has anyone made an intentional decision to skip these and move on to other drawing resources instead?

Those two challenges are indeed optional.
