ITT: Morning warmups/exercises

You could remove all of that and just draw from life.

I just draw from imagination for my warm ups.

I suggest grabbing a bottle of booze and getting drunk with the idea of drawing in mind. You'll get burned out real quick if you force a schedule on yourself.

but learning to fight through the burnout and pacing myself to avoid the burn out is apart of getting good isnt it, i'm sick and tired of having bad line and getting angry with every mark i make and i dont have enough time or money for life drawing sessions, something is better then nothing right?

Take the exercises from Dynamic bible, How to draw and that chinese industrial sketching (this is a good one)

Drop the rest. Boxes and cylinders only make sense if you use them to deconstruct objects from direct observation.

also this.

warm-up is only useful as a, well, warm-up.
It should't take time away from your studies, creative work and periods of rest.

Or you could just draw.
No matter what you draw you're going to be using lines and drawing basic forms (hopefully) so you're practicing that stuff anyway.
Forcing a schedule for this kind of stuff is a complete waste of time.

commit to making a couple marks on paper and then practice whatever -- life, anatomy, perspective, lewds, anything

don't be an unfun robot op

But wouldn't these types of exercises be considered a form of studying? Isn't the point of these to hone a mechanical skill similar to how a boxer practices jabs and straight over and over.

What am i getting confused?

No matter what you do or study, you'll always be practicing your line-work. It's not like studying it separately will be harmful in any way, but it's more efficient to just study other things while trying to make your lines clean and good.

Not quite. You should focus your studies on specific flaws in your work. Repeating the same mistake over and over (scratchy linework) will only make the habit cut deeper.

That's like 3+ hours of repetitive boring as fuck work that will get you nowhere. I've been there, did circles and ellipses for hours one day, then 50+ boxes connecting lines to vanishing points the other day thinking it's valid practice. Yeah I got a little better doing those things but I didn't learn much.

Your lines suck? do the Peter Han line warmups for 15 minutes. 30 if you want to push it. But no more. Then study other shit, look at a reference and try to copy it, do hands, gestures, whatever you want, but give it thought and work on it. Your lines will get better as you go.

Tip: when you're doing a study, draw lightly. Your lines might suck and it'd be incorrect but once you have the general shapes up you could "fix" them by placing bolder, correct lines over them.
