Foxfire - Your workflow sounds fine to me. Try not to worry about speed at all when you do studies, particularly when it's an area you haven't studied before or are new at doing. I know that's hard to do for such a fast challenge as this one, but I would suggest whenever you have any extra time or during your study period outside of doing the challenge topics, to go back to those things that held you up and just do very specific studies tackling those things one step at a time. You can't rush yourself with learning new things; otherwise you'll just end up hurting yourself in the long run. It's not really a simple fix, you just have to keep doing it and you'll get faster and faster which I know is frustrating but you are doing all the right things. And looking at your sketchbook, looks like you are applying most of your studies which is good; keep doing that! Here's some useful tips from AJ in case you are having trouble with the studies themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kfK46nruKM
