How To Get That Edge Over Your Classroom Competitors

Back to the original OP question/comment.
Did you guys see the other youtube videos on the series?
He has one where he talks about how to improve your sketching skills BUT only talks about it.? I think the videos are kind of superficial. There’s probably more useful info from everybody’s responses than the actual video. I would rather have visuals than somebody just talking; specially when it relates to design.
My 2 cents
