Totally makes sense to find a way to enjoy a habit. It's good to try things even if you think you won't like it. Or just commit to something really small. Like put on your exercise shoes.

11:52 20 min colour studies of paintings from an artist he admires. Amazing idea to break things down and start small :)
14:15 and also do quick studies of colour from imagination to ensure you digested all the information you learned through imitation and are able to apply it to your own ideas and work.

I really enjoyed this one. Wish part 1 and 2 were a whole video. Thanks for this either way, it’s great.

That was very interesting, I like the diagrams you included because it makes it less abstract and easier to understand.

My studies have honed copying abilities, but don't seem to improve my creature design or fantasy illustration skills; what should one do if their personal and/or subject-focused works are noticeably inferior to their academic pieces?
