Build a feedback loop

Learning happens by recognizing you made a mistake, and aiming to correct it on your next attempt.

But they aren’t very good for learning, because anything could be wrong: proportions, gesture, shading, perspective, simplification, anatomy, color - or something else! That’s like listening to 5 pieces of music simultaneously. There’s just too much conflicting information. You need to remove as many elements as possible in order to see what’s truly wrong.
