Why? Perspective is the shit. It's the most important thing separating you from being shitted weekly by crabs nitpicking flaws, like anons do with Kyle

Sketches can be whatever, like 25 figure gesture/figure drawings, 25 hands, 25 heads and so on, 25 is just bare minimum, if you want to level up faster, do more! I learned much from listening to a lot of Level Up videos, while I draw. Teaching me how to actually do studies and what not instead of just drawing a lot, this is very important.

As for painting, paint 60-90 minute stuff, like I spend an hour or so on each portrait shown above, I decided to paint that because I recently read a book about color and light. So it can be related to something you recently read about that you want to understand more. Try to observe other's work and try and understand what they did and why they did it and try to apply it to your studies.

I understand that feeling of drawing a lot and feeling like you are not getting anywhere. It seems to be the general advice given to beginners which should be reworded differently I feel. Yes draw a lot, but also try and observe what you are drawing before you dive into it. Draw a 5 heads, then take a look, what is throwing you off? What looks wrong? Eyes? Ok, now try see what you don't understand about it and research, have a reference book next to you, draw that eye over and over again and simplify it in shapes, break it down. This part doesn't have to be drawing a lot, this part is about observing and studying, then after you kind of understand it a bit more, draw a shit ton of it so you get it in your head.


attached a study by Krenz, where he wanted to study and learn about individual fingers then attaching it to the hand, very fascinating and inspiring.
