I'm sorry this is my first lesson and Im not sure how this works. Should I do exercise 1 and submit or do I have to finish the whole lesson then submit?Another question is should I apply the 50% role after the first exercise or wait until I finish the lesson and got confirmation I can move on

So this is addressed in this video from Lesson 0 (be sure to go through Lesson 0 if you haven't already), but to answer your questions:

  • On reddit and on the website, you're going to be submitting complete lessons worth of homework together, not one exercise at a time.

  • Our discord chat server does have channels dedicated to each lesson - there you can post individual exercises for feedback if needed.

  • You apply the 50% from the very beginning, as it is not dependent on having any prior skill or comfort with drawing - it is merely there to help students get accustomed to the fact that when learning to draw, we end up making a lot of shitty drawings that do not come out as we intend - and more importantly, the fact that it's perfectly okay. It is undoubtedly frustrating, but by holding to the 50% rule without exception, we can learn to get over that frustration, and ultimately become more resilient in the face of the challenges before us.
