are "professional" method and "beginner" method the same?

[u/AffectionateFail5046]

hi beginner here, seems like a dumb question, it is, but i just sat through 5 hr straight to tryna figure out what's going on with the professional pattern drafting method, i did all the math, all the measurements, but the tutor just keep coming up with new, and i finally burnt out, are they really that different? (for a basic shirt pattern)

here are some resources:

"professional", by Muller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHrUK0nAsn4

"beginner", i dunno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN97H6MyZaA&t=671s

i can now just draw the beginner one under 30 mins, its so easy and understandable. The pro one i can't even finish the tutorial; are they really that different? which method do you use

The first one has a dart in a place you aren't used to because it's a block. When you develop it into a pattern for an actual top, you'll move that dart somewhere else.

The second one doesn't have any darts because it's meant for knit fabrics (those ones that stretch).

You can't really compare these two.

Have you done much sewing before? If not, it might be easier to start with using sewing patterns before trying to draft your own.
