DVICICH - Journey

Good afternoon everyone!
So i am almost done with term 1. Lots of refresher so far and some good basics are covered.
I was curious too see if anyone else found TERM 1 to be overview and if you went ahead and went to a different section to ramp things up a bit :).

Respectully

Did you get a chance to watch one of Marc's livestreams on Facebook? He always tells us to mix up art school assignments and practice with personal projects so that art doesn't become a boring chore.
I for one skipped the cylinder building anatomy, since I've been drawing humans at work for so long and have a basic understanding of building human proportions.
My personal approach has been - start a personal project you're interested in and watch the lessons that cover aspects you'll have to face addressing that project. That way you're learning by doing something that you already feel passionate about.
Hope that helps. Sorry if I didn't answer your questions exactly.

Hi David! The course itself is structured in a way to help people develop their skills in a way that makes sense, but after that, if you already have experience on some subjects, you are free to skip around the terms to find the lessons that will be the most beneficial to you at your current level. You can also freely go back to previous terms if you feel like you need it.

So it's alright to skip around the different terms. There's no real rules to it. Marc's not going to pop from your screen to tell you you're doing things in the wrong order, haha.
