Priorities?
When you know that you have a lot of areas you'd like to improve on (like painting lighting, backgrounds, gesture, stuff like that) how would you recommend picking what to focus on first? Like how did you decide that metal was the first joint study for textures you wanted to do?




So I'm going to sorta regurgitate what I listened from CUBEBRUSH a while back on this sorta topic of learning what first. Technically you can pick whatever lesson you want to start with , whether that be backgrounds, anatomy, etc. And then go in order or etc and learn those each if you'd like, but he suggested an idea that may come much more easily and naturally. Instead of picking a topic, you could try drawing and learning as you go. For example, you're interested in drawing a person but you don't know how anatomy works so you go and learn some to try to get this drawing going. Next you want a background, so you start to learn what would be good for a background. You're pretty much learning what you need at that certain time. Imo, I like this method because it feels most relaxed and my brain works better at this because I'm not only learning, but I'm putting what I learned to use straight away. So I remember and retain it better. Of course, there's no wrong or right way, this is just a suggestion. And of course, you should remember areas where you feel you need improvement and maybe brush up on those by choice.
