I’m actually not sure I can provide links to existing sources for what NOT to do. I’ve been to enough classes and had enough experience to say confidently that certain habits are bad, and I will be discussing them later on. Were you primarily concerned with having the information, or with fact-checking my claims?
With having the information: a description of how reality (methods for drawing effectively) differs from perception (the obvious/natural way to proceed). Not a list of specific good or bad ways, but what makes the good unintuitive. Mathematical-metaphorically, the axioms from which one could derive the right approach and technique with sufficient consideration.
—I think the above may be overconstraining. How about: The information to convert a layman’s unknown-unknowns into known-unknowns.
Huh. That’s a higher level I planned for, but it’s an interesting question. I’ll see if I can answer it. (The short answer is that laymen took thousands of years periodically trying random things and checking against reality and human emotional response to work out the techniques we have today. )

I think kpreid is requesting a list of bad habits, but not requesting that you write one up if you weren’t planning to and have a link handy.
I was definitely planning to talk about them extensively, so if that’s the concern e needn’t worry.
