I working through the exercises in parallel with FwaP.

Pretty good so far (on Illusion of Light) but sometimes the exercises feel like homework which makes it hard to stay motivated. But that’s why I also started doing FwaP, to shake things up

It's fantastic, it helped me tremendously back when I started drawing, having 0 knowledge beforehand.

It's the worst instructional book of any kind I have ever encountered. It is worse than useless, and I can only assume people recommend it in an attempt to sabotage beginners.

Probably the resource that helped me most when starting. The first third/half is great, once it gets into shading it becomes kinda worthless, but the copy/proportion part is really good.

That's your call, buddy. The book tells you to evaluate your projects after each chapter and decide if you need to go over anything again. If you don't think you need to then don't.

I mean I don't even want to do this book anymore, but every time I ask for alternatives I keep getting told to continue this.

Keys to Drawing has trash art, I'm surprised you even decided to study it in the first place.

You're much better off with pic related. Don't take advice from bad artists, only good ones, like Mario sensei
