You can… fix your previous, more basic problems by doing more complex versions of the same problem? Will that work out ?

Oh, that's my bad. My students said that 2 point perspective was boring. I used the next qualitative step up to literally illustrate where they could take their work if they kept improving.

The problem was boredom, and I wanted to show what an older student (that they pay lol) would do.

Not OP- but (in some cases) I think so, yeah.

For example, having problems drawing ellipses? You’ll get better at them if you draw a bunch of cylinders since you have to draw at least 2 for each cylinder anyway.

Trouble drawing a 2D rectangle? Draw 3D boxes. You gotta draw 6 of them for each box now. Etc.
