I totally understand. Back in the day I felt lost, now I found Marc 😂 seriously though, it can be hard to know “what to do” to get better.
From what I can tell, there’s no one right answer or clear road. So any road with clear objectives will take a lot of these decisions from being an additional roadblock to learning art. In the end, the road (this or other courses or self teaching) will eventually lead to the person learning what the fundamentals are, how they affect and how to use them to make art, gain the dexterity to make the marks and gain the observational skills and visual vocabulary that will allow that person to create what they want
Now that said, I think this course and this community is excellent and the road so far has been highly fullfilling for me (I am still a noob but have learned so so much)
From my short time here I can say, take it slow but keep it fun and definitely share what you want as the feedback (both what is good and constructive criticism) can lead to epiphany after epiphany and, especially at the beginner phase - lead to huge art gains.
When I say take it slow, what I really mean is do things at your comfortable or slightly uncomfortable pace. Push yourself, but just a bit. All the assignments in term 1 can be done by anyone, but even if next terms are exciting, try levelling up as much as possible in each term before taking the next step. Keep repeating the assignments until you feel you are ready for more complexity and if you have the chance or time for it, seek additional info to complement your education.
For me personally, that would be through books and youtube. So as I go about the art school, I am also watching some videos here and there, and reading at least one book per term. The first term I read art fundamentals (3D total, and highly recommend it for basic theory on art)
Sorry for writing a whole essay there, I wish you good luck and you can count on my help - within the grasp of my limited knowledge
Cheers!
