I started off on here fumbling about doing different things until I realised that I should start off by focussing on the fundamentals for a while: perspective, anatomy, lighting

Yeah I guess that's one of the difficulties of self learning - you gotta identify your own syllabus and resources.

I mean in the end it always comes down to doing it... I guess I just wished there was more structure in my early study days.

That's true of course. I think it would still be nice to have a little overview of stuff you can do or try if you want to improve in certain areas.

Yeah - although after a few months of browsing the sketchbooks on here you can get a good feel for a learning path I'd say.

It would be really cool if there was like a collection of exercises. Like stuff that helped people progress the most or are just challenging exercises on their own.

What I like about drawabox that it gives people a starting point in either beginning in the first place or getting back and working on their fundamentals
