I think you'll be off to a very good start if you're focussing on fundamentals - I've recently gone back to doing Peter Han style exercises and I feel that it is really giving me a boost.  Understanding 3D forms has so many benefits - I'm finding that my lighting is really improving for example.  I think Peter Han even gets you to sketch in core shadows and stuff like that.

Good luck with your schedule - don't forget to make time to enjoy the art you do - best way to avoid burn out in my experience.

Hello Artloader, and thank you! 

I've been drawing for quite some time as I mentioned, but I really lack the fundamentals, which ends up making my artwork rely more on happy accidents than anything else. My lines are not that good and I always used to draw with my wrist making short lines, which sure isn't helping me, Peter Han's exercises are helping me a lot on that aspect.

Good luck on your exercises, they sure help a lot!! Always try to remember to pay attention to your mistakes while practicing though, otherwise you'll keep repeating the same mistakes over and over! 

I'm doing his dynamic sketching class' line and ellipse exercises, I haven't seen those exercises you mentioned yet.

Thank you! I'll always be keeping an eye on myself to avoid that, thank you for the tip! The regret after not taking advantage of months and months of practice after getting burned out is indescriptible.

Good luck to the both of us on our art!
