Here are the most common struggles I’ve noticed throughout my teaching practice:

+ Perspective basics is definitely high on your "struggles list”, perspective drawing seems to look very complicated

+ You are totally new to sketching and need to learn about it to be comfortable where to begin with; you really just need some helping hand

+ Your biggest issue is the proportion of the furniture to the size of the room

+ Just getting started and know what to draw when you finally sit to draw

+ Scared of hand rendering textures and reflective surfaces, like glass, mirror, metal, etc.

+ Not sure if you are using the right materials for sketching

+ Struggle mostly with shading, highlights, and cast shadows in particular

+ Wish you are being able to use the right materials to highlight the differences in tonal variation

+ Feel very rigid while sketching structure and resistance while approaching 2-point perspective, despite practicing and following along the lessons

Maybe you are more experienced and have made rendered drawings you are proud of, but they were very time-consuming, so:

+ Getting in the habit of sketching project ideas quickly is your biggest weakness, and you feel the need to jump to Revit/AutoCAD/3DSMAX to get yourself started on ideating a plan, and you wish you could just grab a sketchbook to do the same (probably you even think it is a purely psychological issue :-)

+ Biggest issue is that you don’t know how to put multiple drawings on an A4/A3 page to present an idea. When using markers, it can be hard to plan out where everything will go and how the overall look of the page/s might be. Single drawings are easier, but when combining floor plans and a 2-point perspective interior and exterior plus a 1-point interior on the same page, you want to make it all look aesthetically similar
