Drawing courses and daily warm up

[Puck]

What drawing courses did you do? What were your experiences? Would you recommend it?
Do you have a daily drawing warm up?

I have a daily drawing warm up which I attached, it changed over the last years, at the moment it is
a lot of shapes in 3d, straight lines, all drawn without the use of a ruler and mannequins. It takes almost
one hour to finish the warm up.

My first course was from toonbox company, it´s good for people who are just starting, no anatomy skills needed
and it´s good for people who just started drawing in general and started digital drawing. It was not expensive and
I found it through youtube

I tried Drawabox 3 times and I always stopped when it comes to drawing texture, I´m at that point again and I probably
quit again because I hate that part and I don´t want to continue without finishing it. The rest of the first lessons is great
though, I recommend everyone to do at least the lessons until the 250 boxes challenge, it will change your drawing life.
The guy who produces the videos and the homepage put a lot of effort into it and it´s all for free. I hope I can manage
to get through the texture lesson this time

I have all Proko classes. The free videos on youtube are already good enough, I only bought the classes to have them
in a better order. Proko is tough, especially when you are not able to draw shapes in perspective yet, it´s on a high level
but also presented very good. It´s expensive but worth it. I think I need at least 4 years to get through the courses.

I recently joined art wod, it´s 15€ a month and I love the course, it´s all based on shapes in perspective and the classic
concepts of Loomis, Riley etc

I´m looking forward to read your reviews of courses and to read about your warm ups, maybe I get some new
inspirations

@Puck - I learned most of my fundamentals from SVSLearn and from Scott Harris on Udemy.

SVS Learn is geared more towards children's book illustrations but has a lot of valuable basics to build up foundations regardless of your end goal. They also have classes dedicated to the business of art and being a freelancer, so really great for practical applications.

Scott Harris' classes are more for people who want to start drawing comics or game designs fast. He breaks down character and environment design really well, and his color class was great too.

My warmup isn't as structured as yours. I typically begin with some figure drawing from Line-Of-Action or AdorkaStock and spend maybe 15 minutes on it? However long it takes me to fill up a couple of pages in my sketchbook.

I've been interested in the Proko paid classes - do you feel like they are worth the money?

Thank you for the answer.
I forgot about the Scott Harris course, I have that one too but only watched it one time so far and didn´t practice
it yet but I think it´s great.

For most people the free Proko videos will be enough and for me it was also too early to purchase them, I´m not
at the level yet where I need all the muscles, bones etc in detail

I used to do a lot of gesture drawing quick sketches every day and I will pick that up again. It´s really good to
do that daily but my warm up already is around one hour

Next thing I want to learn is digital coloring and inking
