Was able to do some hide copies, doing pretty alright with them and also was able to watch the steve huston course and attempt to learn how to do figures, tried to do some morpho studies too but I just ran out of gas.
The only good results that came from today were the copies but when it came to drawing from reference (both applying hide's method on one set of refs and then doing SH's method on another) I just completely bombed quality wise. Felt like I didn't learn anything at all and was pretty demotivating.
Will probably have to go over the Steve Huston course again but outside of that I'm clueless on how to overcome this outside of 'just keep doing it', feels like I'm not really understanding where I'm going wrong and how to course correct.
