Can't wait to see how those guns look after a month of studying them

I think the biggest commitment to memory is being able to apply what your learn in away that release dopamine which is to say that when you draw something that use the knowledge you been working on it where you see the brain want to go back to this feel of sucess and it also create neutral path that signal that this information is a priority in your day to day lifesyle.The worst thing one can do is being distracted or feel like what there is doing will simply just be forgotten because it renforce this instead of the other useful information.

The question become how can you make sure that you enjoy what you do in way that stimulate your memory retention.Drawing is one of them observing is an other learning is an other one being able to alternate between those help retain and refresh the brain attention.Of course over time you have already visit the subject a couple of time it become a question of how do i go further than before.I suggest combining some approch, studying new book or video tutorial trying new medium this kind of stuff .

Keep it fun anatomy can be really taxing at time so make sure to put that anatomy to good use.
