Thanks for the thoughtful reply! Then perhaps I should stick with one subject at a time. I have a bad habit of tackling too much at once, I have and will put in the time but Im not great with being patient with my progress since I expect the multiple subjects to improve my skill at the same pace.
I have a fear that if I focus on one skill at a time for too long my other skills would stagnate or even diminish. Maybe thats also due to a lack of knowing how to schedule my learning. I know what I wanna learn but I dont know how to divide time to them. Any tips on tackling that?

I'd consider myself somewhat intermediate in drawing but I really wanna hone my perspective and construction. but I also want to improve my figure drawing skills. I want to get into animation so I def want both skills. But does anyone think it's possible to manage both at the same time or is it better to stick with one or the other at a time? Like today is focused on drawabox and tomorrow is figure drawing, and so forth. Time for both isn't a issue, I'm more so asking if it's effective to learn one way or the other

I completely agree with what you said, it makes a lot of sense especially as I've learned more about what deliberate practice means. Since before I only had a very basic understanding of the term. Coming to terms with not just learning what's comfortable, but all the skills I'll need. I'd definitely overwhelm myself trying to learn too many drawing fundamentals at once though.
Im also doing animation mentor which takes up most my time in the day, and learning the 12 principals of animation in 2D on my own. Now I see adding on even more would definitely be too much for me. And after reading the "ready" and 50% rule lessons, I realize I should have time to actually make the stuff I'm learning so hard for. Not just practice all day. With that said, I'll focus on finishing through my 2D Animation fundamentals for the remainder of 4 months, and then dive into drawabox, and then figure drawing and take it from there.
You gave me some good nudges with your advice, so again, really appreciate you taking the time!
