You could definetely be right. My thought behind this is just that want to spend approximately 5 hours a day into drawing, but i dont think that those are effective if i just do figure drawing for example. I would guess that more smaller things a day are gonna pay out in long term.
Besides that my i dont think my problem is staying at the same spot and making the same mistakes over and over again, but at least seeing the mistakes.
Does this make sense? Snce i´m a beginner these are all only thoughts without experience so i will be ready to chance my mind about that
I will give an example. Let's say you are playing mmorpg with your friend.Your characters are LVL 1 and you have low lvl equipment.You set a goal for yourself that you want to be the best warriors in this game as soon as possible.So in order to be the best warriors, you set time for yourself to play this game for 5 hours a day.All fired up, you opened a map to see where could you go to kill mobs for sweet experience to gain lvls.You noticed,that on the map marked several zones: noob zone from lvl 1 to lvl 20;Intermediate characters from lvl 20 to 40; And High lvl characters from lvl 40 to 50.You want to be at the top as fast as possible,so you decided,that by beating lvl 40-50 mobs, you will get more experience and more loot from them. But your friend decided to go another way. He decided to gain lvls standard way by going to noob zone and complete low lvl quests for equipment.And you have split up.
In high lvl zone, you have met a giant beast lvl 45.You draw your wooden sword and say:"I am gonna beat the shit out of you and get what i wanted!" . With all your high energy,with all your might,you attacked the giant beast.For every attack you are dealing 2 damage.But the health bar of the beast is 1000 points.And of course,the beast has more strength points that you.So the beast is like :"What the..." and oneshots you
But you don't give up! With every attempt you are dealing 2 damage and keep dying After 500 tries you managed to kill the beast! And from that sweet kill you have gained 25% experience points out of 100.
At the same time,your friend, on first attempts, had killed 500 low lvl mobs and completed low lvl quests.He is now lvl 18. Has better equipment than you are and moving towards to the next zone.
With every high lvl mob you kill,your friend gains more levels,better equipment and have much more fun than you are.
When you are having fun,you won't even notice how time flies by. And easily from 5 hours a day, you can end up playing for 10,12,16 hours a day!
My point being,start simple and slow,don't rush,enjoy your journey.By understanding simple things, you will able to see and understand how complicated objects are made and how to deal with them.When you are drawing anatomy,you just mindlessly copying it.You wont get much experience from it.
I Hope it makes sense! Of course, we are all different and there is no "the ultimate" way to get where you want to be.This strategy just helped me to be where i am right now.And i find it really simple and enjoy to follow.
