Can you share your best habits from your art practice that helped you get to where you are today?

I made it partway through Drawabox and it really improved my drawing skills. Now that I’ve moved onto figure drawing and portrait courses here on Proko, I can really see how I’ve improved and my drawings have structure even though I still consider myself a beginner. I did have some issues. I feel like it’s not great for absolute beginners because you have to do all drawings in pen. If you need to be able to walk before you run, I think you need to be at a light jog before doing Drawabox. It also annoyed me that he didn’t use pen for his demos and criticized people for drawing digitally. I understand it from a technical POV but it still felt like “do what I say, not I do.”

Hello guys,  I finished the Figure Drawing course and don't know which one to choose next. Your opinions, please - what is better to learn first - Anatomy or Portrait? 

You could try a smoother paper or a blending stump. I haven’t had a ton of luck with a blending stump yet but I know others swear by them,
