Those are the ones I am doing/did in the past as well. But dips is something I haven't done as much yet nor pull ups.

4 exercises + running, that is. The progression is simple. Might be helpful! Of course, keep doing what feels right. Just a suggestion!

These four helped me get into shape.

If I had to pick a book, I'd say Creative Illustration (Andrew Loomis) helped a lot!

Core exercises are fine, too \o/

Oh, well. Have you looked into r/bwfitness programs?

What I mean with burn myself out is, doing too many exercises at once. For now I will be focusing on the core exercises, and slowly add more.

I'm pretty sure it's actually _better_ to not burn yourself out.

You don't need to burn yourself out

and eventually burn myself out.

That's what I did in the past doing the most complex exercises instead of the basic ones (same way with art)

Starting small. Not gonna make it to complex, but slowly add exercises along the way.

I see. @Hermi Nice fitness goals. Might want to add dips, although proper tricep pushups do work the triceps. Lunges are good, too.

That's just me of course.

If I were going to do this all over again, I would start with Keys to Drawing Kert Dudson.

Well for me at least, I bought the book. Thought it will teach me anything, it didn't. Because I already had the confidence to begin with, and that's what the book teaches I feel. Just confidence.

I'm thinking of picking it up

Has anyone read "Drawing on the right side of the brain"? I hear mixed things. Some say it's great, some say it's fine, and some say it's useless and overthinking art.

But that can be applicable to anything jobs that requires you to sit all day,

Not sure if anyone seen jeff watts talks about the book over Mastery, but this parts speaks about how to keep yourself energized as an artist : https://youtu.be/ZNwhwhkZuus

And this definitely needs a thread of its own I feel. :+1:

I think we might be making the concept a bit too complex, instead of simpler terms. But yeah. Gonna go finish up some things for now, talk to you guys later. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

one last thought. Trial and error is like lego. Fundementals are the bricks you have. You work out the coolest stuff to build out of the bricks you have, or you can go out and get more bricks and then build something really cool

What if I draw the form this way, and not that way? What if I make it smaller? What if I make it longer etc etc. You will start figuring what works and what doesn't work in a way.
