"I wonder how many 1st year students at FZD are asked to you know go and struggle to finish pieces instead of working on their fundamentals :)."
All of them, I can't remember the video, but Feng specifically says he makes students spend "as long as you need" to get quality to "make all those mistakes on a long piece to get those mistakes and problems out of the way."
There are so many tiny things to work on like connections and proportions that doing a long piece will teach you; Maybe you have a more intelligent method of learning, who knows? I think you'll learn faster if you create something from your mind, run into the roadblocks of your knowledge faster so you can fill them in and know exactly what you're lacking in.
Maybe this will give you some ideas
