Hi Glen,
I divide anything I learn and practice in projects, when it's outside of an online class.
A creature design project provides me with all the tasks I want/need to study to achieve the goal.
So for me it never comes to mind, that I would miss anything during that time. I'm focused on the task at hand.
But I do understand that, without the narrow field of a project it can be daunting and overwhelming when it comes to "what to study next".
Splitting a huge goal in smaller ones is a reliable strategy on tackling large goals.
Maybe this might help you too.
Cheers
Pat

Here's my attempt at the camel. Found the legs to be particularly challenging.

well came out better than I thought but still a lot of room for improvement.
Hi there,
drawing is, like any other skill, a set of practice. Everyone learns different so it's a bit hard to give a good suggestion on how to change the way to learn.
For me I always set myself a goal. For example I'm a hobby worldbuilder, so I wanted to create maps and characters and trough that goal it was always clear to me, which skill I'm currently missing. So I took the "project approach". When I want to design a creature, I learn everything about creature design. How to study animals, proportions, how to tackle design etc.
This provides me with intention and a map of what I need for this particular task. Of course there is no shortcut but it provided me always with a meaning, so my motivation is high trough my purpose.
And yes, I'm currently enrolled in Prokos fundamental art class because I need to get my basics improved.
Try to find what brings you fun working towards too.
Cheers.

I will try to do both assignments. It's harder than I thought. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hey there, good job so far. The top line of the apple is a bit wider. I know it's a bit difficult at the beginning, but try to imagine the form in lines. I used your photo and added some guide lines. It's a good start. Remember to add 3 light values.
