Yeah as Adrian says, it’s not enough just watching the tutorials, you have to make something on your own, have some fun, create, do awesome stuff with the tool. As if playing a guitar, you can learn to read all the notes, watch people showing you how the hands and fingers are positioned, but at some point you have to pick a guitar and actually start making some music, producing and enjoying the sounds.
I know following the tutorials linearly is better than randomly, but is not that easy, everyone learns in their own way. It’s hard to say what linearly is. It will depend on your interest, if it’s modeling or texturing, maybe animation, what ever it is the Fundamentals of said discipline should go first, after that you can watch and practice with any course that is about animating.
I am a big proponent of starting like a pipeline production, try mastering modeling first, get comfortable with it then move to texturing and shading, then rigging and animation. Again, the fundamental first, after that you can watch any course.
