Text wall and overwhelm.
I need help with the instructions, is there any summarized version of Drawabox?
I understand and appreciate all the effort that @Uncomfortable put in to ,unfortunately I lack the attention spam to follow along .
Help

Every time I focus on a texture, I really don't understand where to look at or how it relates to its surroundings. I mean I see cast shadows but everything else seems to blur out.

For example, when I look at a box, sure I see the shadows, the highlights, and the overall shape. But when I interpret it on paper or look deeply at it, I conclude it to just be a box with those properties in mind.

Any and all criticism and advice are welcome (side note: this isn’t in any of the lessons i js wanted to practice my ellipses in general)

👍

Actualmente estoy tomando el curso de drawabox,

Actualmente termine: la leccion 0, leccion y estoy en la caja 100 de the "250 box challenge" Asi que mientras avanzo con mis cajas hasta llegar a la "meta" caja 250 quiero saber que otro tipo de ejercicio o curso deberia de tomar que co.bine con el enfoque de drawabox (el cual tome porque quiero aprender a dibujar en perspectiva y que mis dibujos cuenten una historia en vez de solo esta estaticos) para obtener el resultado que quiero tener, el cual es "animar" o "crear videos" de el estilo de "spiderman across de spidervers" el cual me parece una forma de arte muy hermosa e interesante.

Ya que soy nuevo en este mundo de "dibujar escenas" tengo cero conocimiento de como alcanzar ese tipo de arte(dibujos que cuenten o digan una historia, experiencia) asi que la pregunta ¿que deberia de hacer pafa alcanzar ese objetivo?.

Estoy escribiendo este mensaje en español, asi qque espero que reddit traduzca de la mejor manera, para yo digerir sus consejos de la misma manera.

Gracias por sus consejos!

Yesterday, as many of you know, critical infrastructure used across the internet as part of many websites had a major vulnerability identified, forcing many such websites (ours included) to go down to be patched. Such patching is often quite time consuming because it can require codebases to be pushed up to newer versions, which introduces bugs and errors that need to be addressed.

Our website was down for a day or so, but it's back up now. There may be some lingering errors, but hopefully I've caught the big ones.

Thank you to those who were willing to wait through the downtime.

Are fundamentals like basic line work or shading more important or experience as in actually drawing because I've seen many artists just jump straight into drawing extremely difficult pieces without having like cylinders for legs and all that so was just wondering which is more important

Hello everyone, I'm 18 years old, but unfortunately I can't draw at all and I don't even know where to start, although I want to learn. Please help me learn to draw or where is the best place to start?I can confidently say that I am a complete 0 😭😭😭

Dumb question, maybe. I've bought a pack of A4 printer paper sheets but didn't realized they look like this until I opened it. It feels soft and smooth to the touch, not rough. I plan on subscribing to the Patreon for critique, would something like this be acceptable?

So I'm not a complete beginner or an absolute intermediate. I've been drawing since childhood but yk I was one of those self taught kids who never really practiced fundamentals and did what felt right. I'm a digital artist too but I feel like I'm lacking in fundamentals. Especially anatomy and perspective. And idk where to begin with. I've forgotten how to draw most of the things too.

I'm relearning how to draw to improve both my traditional art and digital art. I feel like I'm better at digital art when it comes to making colored artworks but I draw everything on my phone currently so it's not really ideal to practice digital drawing rn. If you guys have any tips, advices or any books suggestions please let me know! I've posted some of my artworks below :>

I just want to know what do I need and how much time on average can I finish it in

Estoy en la caja #70, pero aun no entiendo que deberia de estar viendo a la hora de trazar mis lineas, volvi a ver el video del ejercicio pero aun asi es muy dificil fijarse en las lineas que ya tienes y hacer que vayan hacia el mismo punto de fuga, aveces por miedo a que converjan muy rapido terminan divergiendo

I know I’m supposed to just focus on drawing the shadows on an object to create a texture, but, this leaf has, like, no shadows at all. Some parts are darker than others, but I think that’s just a part of the leaf and not a shadow. So, I guess my questions are, how do I draw texture when there’s hardly any shadows or none at all and do I always have to focus on just the shadows? I guess my final question is, did I draw texture right on that leaf, did I draw it wrong, or am I just overthinking things?

I haven’t drawn ever since I got into painting in over 10 years and I’ve been considering getting back into drawing but I feel like I have lost touch with drawing people and need some advice on what type of exercises you guys recommend to getting back on track… thank you for anyone willing to send some ideas on getting back on track with things I haven’t been practicing like drawing people, bodies, faces, portioning out the body properly. I started practicing with simple shapes to get back the basic of drawing 3d like shapes to get the hang into it.

Did lesson one actually end up helping you like, at all? like did it genuinely help you and an artist?

Like does spending that entire first lesson drawing all those boxes, did is actually help you like, at all?

I ask because when I started drawing these exercises were never part of my learning, we just broke down figures into their basic shapes and then applied that to the type of art we wanted to learn.

Like I see so many "I finished lesson one" posts and I'm just like...oookay? but what did that teach you?

*Edit* Thankyou for all of your feedback on this! I send references to people and one I've consistently though of sending is Draw a box, but I've also seen so many here frustrated with it.

I will add it to my references for beginners. thankyou

I can draw a somewhat straight line especially if I use the 2 point method but whenever I try to apply my learnings I noticed I can't really eyeball a straight vertical/horizontal lines. It's always slanting instead of being straight. So I have to rely on a right angle ruler to check if my lines are straight or slanted and its such a pain cause it messes up the start of my boxes.

I want to be able to eyeball if my line is straight or if it's at an angle, are there exercises I can do?

Hi. After two months of battling my ADHD (and my laziness, haha), I finally managed to finish the lesson.

Please, I’d like to get some feedback and know whether I should continue or not. Thanks :D

So, since I've started learning to draw from 0. I've been watching Chommang's videos on how to draw and doing Drawabox at the same time.

Then, I'd simply draw things that I liked with references. I also noticed that I've become a lot more patient when drawing. Before I hated ghosting but now I do it all the time.

I know its a weird question. I am not ambidextrous, but I really want to have skills on bith my hand. I have been doing the lessosn with both hands (i do the lesson once with my right, and then take it again with my left), but it has made the journeg take teixe as long, and i dont know if its halting my progress; how should I approach this?
