Coming back to an old episode as I'm pretty new to this and reference this "battle plan" a lot. I've plotted out my year one to take about 18-20 months according to my task list. I have one question though which will fairly drastically change my plan. When he says fill 7 100 pg. sketchbooks, he is talking about 50 sheet front and back or 100 sheet one side right? That's definitely how I treat sketchbooks and 100 sheets would put me at around 1400 pages of fundamentals and studies in Phase I. Does that sound about right or do you think 700 pages aka 350 sheets was more what he was saying? I wanted to clarify as I don't want to over-grind the fundamentals before starting to fan out into more creative areas as Lee specifically mentions this part to be what will really separate you when you get into the crowd of people that can all draw really well.
Thanks for your time!
