Are you saying I should focus on other fundamentals?
Maybe, but I kind of feel like doing perspective right now. Many people say it's boring but if I'm currently interested in it, it feels like a good idea to continue. What if I stop studying it and find it too boring when I try to pick it up again?
"If you don't have a general direction you will be a master of none as they say."
I do have sort of a direction, currently I'm thinking Perspective Made Easy > Erik Olson's Perspective > Scott Robertson > Mike Mattesi's Force > Marco Bucci's Drawing For Experienced Beginners (I was watching this but then he began talking about perspective so I switched to PME, also thought it might be good to read Force before finishing this because Bucci gives out gesture assignments) > Dynamic Sketching > Andrew Loomis... maybe others I see recommended for gesture and anatomy... then Med's Map for digital techniques... and so on to maybe further books or video courses if I don't tire of studying.
Although I might change my mind about that list. Someone I know also may or may not want me to do storyboards without pay in the future so I might switch to reading books on layouts if that becomes eventual.

Thank you. Yeah there are some intriguing techniques in the book, I can see why it's commonly recommended for beginners.
