y597xt | artfundamentals_train | 0.93 | How to make it more exciting for an ADHD artist? Debating giving it a third try but the past two times my dopamine starved brain just gave up. And it's not just art in general, I've been drawing consistently for over a year. It's drawabox boring me. I've tried toughing through it and failed twice. I'm medicated but my stimulants wear off by the time of day I have time to draw by. But I want to go pro some day so I need the skills it could teach me. So, any tips on making drawabox more exciting so I can stick with it? Please be kind, I really want to make this work but the format of the course doesn't seem natural to my brain chemistry | ismh23d | ismq97g | 1,665,972,188 | 1,665,976,565 | 7 | 12 | I love the idea, but it's ENTIRELY too structured for me. | Eat a chocolate each time you finish a part | 0 | 4,377 | 1.714286 | ||

I found that drawabox just ain’t gonna work so you gotta find something else. One good way is to set string restriction and habits. Like brushing your teeth. Do so by setting consequences like you can’t east until you achieve your task. It’s especially better if someone else is the one threatening you to do so. Spend an allotted time that you must write down and have openly visible in an area you commonly hang out. Sticky notes are really good for that or one of those whiteboards you can tape onto walls. Self studying is often a great way to get better, look up free references on here and study them yourself. It’s also helpful to just look at other peoples drawabox and tracing/copying it to understand it fully. | Eat a chocolate each time you finish a part | 0 | 75,165 | 3 | ||

For me, I can’t fill up 2 pages of boxes without being bored. Instead, I just have a free-for-all. I’ll draw a box or two - then i’ll draw some ellipses. Then maybe a few arrows. Maybe a few cylinders. Then I’ll ghost some lines. Etc. all on the same page. It gets messy - and everything overlaps each other - but as long as i’ve taken the time to analyse something before I move on - then I don’t care if something bad goes on top of it and stops me having a nice page full of wonderfully drawn boxes. Also, when you’re bored - skip ahead to a later lesson. I’m over here struggling to draw ellipses and boxes in isolation - and i’m still unable to feel pride in my line-work. Then I try to construct a plant or something - and it comes out way better than I expected. The whole is worth more than the sum of its parts. Don’t let the exercises paralyse you from moving on. | I also have ADHD and have struggled with bigger art projects. Most of my issues are that I want the challenge, but I get bored easily.

weh4ej | artfundamentals_train | 0.96 | Should I redo homework if it was done badly? I was doing rough perspective exercise and it was far more tiring and difficult than I anticipated. Mostly because my 3D ability is extremely weak and I got confused and my hand slipped a few time due to tiredness (this is reocurring in my homeworks however). The result was quite embarrasing - not really because of missing the mark on VP even though I am ashamed of that but because the boxes barely look like boxes at some point. Should I redo it? I already scrapped half of a page due to this issue and I am not sure if this is still under the "only finish specific number of pages" thing or no. | iiqfcbh | iipbcf5 | 1,659,495,389 | 1,659,477,959 | 26 | 9 | Don't worry about it. It's all a part of learning. If you worry about this now, textures will be hell. Just don't let it get to you. This is for fun and learning, not a professional portfolio that others will be judging you on. I don't remember where Uncomfortable mentioned it, but he does mention somewhere that, give or take (and it's become my mantra with this): "The goal is to learn the basics of drawing, not to have a pretty picture to hang on your wall at the end of each lesson" | There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed/ashamed about, this is a process. It is the point of these exercises to practice, learn, and get better. Talk to your instructor about what is happening and how to improve. Keeping at it is the way to get better.

wzzgim | artfundamentals_train | 1 | DrawABox with a sketching board? It's quite a while that I'm dealing with back and neck pain while drawing. I bought an expensive chair, my elbows are at the desk height and my feet rest on a foot rest under it. Stretching, breaks and exercises helped somewhat but I'm suffering from a terrible pain in the upper back of my neck. I actually feel ill and nauseous at this point and I can't concentrate on anything during my day. I'm afraid that if this goes on I'll injure myself really badly with no way back. My conclusion now is that it is all because I'm constantly looking down at the paper since it's on a flat surface. There seems to be no choice but to invest in a sketching board of some kind so it's more at my eye level. Is something like this okay? Do you think it will help me? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01IFV9UKG/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A23ADOZFIJNPFB&psc=1 And also, would I still be able to maintain the level of drawing accuracy required for DrawABox using this board?

DaB isn't concerned about perfectly replicating a reference photo, it's about understanding the thing you're trying to draw in space. That helps you draw it from multiple different perspectives, like for example in different panels of a comic. The course doesn't go into stylization itself but the fundamentals are just as important for stylized art as they are for realism, so you'll still get a lot out of it. | 1 | 13,375 | 5 | ||
rumxgp | artfundamentals_train | 0.93 | Is Drawabox good if my end-goal is to draw anime? I used to do the drawabox challenge many years ago when I wanted to learn, but I quickly got tired of drawing lines and curves, I didn't even really get to complex boxes yet. I got tired with the mind-numbing lines and soon busy with college, and gave up. I am thinking of starting again, and I know that in the end, if I want to draw for the sake of it I should doodle whatever I want from time to time; Art Fundamentals is that, the training of the fundamentals. What do you think? Is this challenge applicable or helpful for aspiring anime-type artists too? If so, how should I frame my view on all this? My (suspected) ADHD and busy lifestyle doesn't make this very easy, on top of never having been into art or anything creative besides a little music. | hr1rixq | hr1rmxk | 1,641,196,349 | 1,641,196,433 | 16 | 20 | I believe uncomfortable went over this on one of his most recent YouTube videos for drawabox. To add my perspective, if you can’t draw anything right now, try something like the book “learn to draw in 30 days” to learn how to draw a little bit to get confidence and then do drawabox to hone your skills even further. This is what my plan has been. I couldn’t stand drawabox at first since all I could draw was squares and lines. Now I’ve almost completed “learn to draw in 30 days” and I can draw a lot more. Once I’ve completed the last 5 lessons, I’m going to dive into drawabox and also work on easy Pinterest “learn to draw for kids” drawings that i practice drawing things I like such as basic Pokémon, Disney, and anime characters to keep practicing drawing what I like as well as building the solid foundation from drawabox (50/50 rule) | Yes. Drawabox teaches you some basic concepts that will help you become a better artist. The fundamentals aren’t suppose to be fun. Manga is just stylized art but all those artists studied the fundamentals and or practice them routinely. You honestly won’t get anywhere if you don’t practice consistency. Even if you’re busy, try your best to squeeze in some drawing time. | 0 | 84 | 1.25 | ||

They later came back to drawing and did more doodling and free form drawing, as opposed to following these lessons. I think if you are mature and skill oriented, its fantastic for beginners. This basically means you are probably a young adult though. For kids who enjoy novelty and exploration, it kills the fun of drawing. Its better to let them draw and trace things that excite them, and then later fix the bad habits they developed by learning these fundamentals so that they can reach the next level. | 0 | 11,798 | 28 | ||

loaw7o | artfundamentals_train | 0.97 | Is drawabox right for me? I want to start a structured drawing program, but im not sure drawabox is what I need. Ive linked my first 3 drawings as an adult, I havnt drawn since elementary school until recently. I feel like I've got a pretty steady hand and that my construction skills are maybe half as good as an actually skilled artist. Im having a hard time convincing myself to commit such an enormous amount of time into learning what appears to basically be just construction. I see a lot of people swear by Drawabox, but maybe its not what I need? http://imgur.com/gallery/pxVzcWe | go5ahq4 | go5ql1i | 1,613,848,091 | 1,613,856,272 | 16 | 25 | Drawabox focuses on helping you to think in 3D. It starts with very basic mark making and drawing from the shoulder but moves into dynamic sketching, perspective and construction. It is based on dynamic sketching concepts from Peter Han and Peter's mentor who I forget the name of. Some questions to consider: Can you draw a cube at any angle and have them all look correct (you can check this by extending the pairs of lines of the cube to the vanishing point)? Similarly, can you do the same with cylinders? How about other primitive shapes? What about organic forms with contours? Drawabox won't make you a professional artist, but it's a great foundation for creating drawings that have volume and feel like they have weight. Like others have stated, you can always give it a try and see what you think of it. | Let me preface this by saying you're better than me.

Those lessons really are very basic for anyone with any background in art. Lesson 2 was pretty nice imo, but The Basics didn't teach me anything I didn't learn in art classes from back in High School, and in my experience, you don't just lose that knowledge either. This place is some weird cult, I guess. The Basics section is taught in schools. Why would you redo that just to satisfy some fundamentals program? What a fucking joke. | 1 | 8,598 | -2.272727 | ||

That said as a supplement it really is very helpful. | I was in the same position as you a while ago. I felt pretty confident in my abilities as I've drawn on and off since I was a very young child. However, I also had this nagging feeling that I was missing a lot of knowledge about fundamental theories. I committed to Drawabox and I'm really glad I did. The course helped in two major ways. Firstly it made me realise that I did in fact lack a lot of basic drawing knowledge. As a self-taught artist, it's very easy to fall into the trap of sticking to what you're already good at. This leads to a false sense of self-confidence. I considered myself a pretty damn good artist before I started Drawabox but once I dived in, I realised that there were a lot of basic things that I struggled to do. It's a bit of a shock to realise that you're not as good as you think you are. This kind of realisation is quite humbling but really helps you to take your skills to the next level. Secondly, it put into words a lot of things I had picked up intuitively over the years. A lot of the things you pick up as a self-taught artist happen by chance. Sometimes you can replicate them, other times you can't. Learning the theory behind fundamentals can help you become more deliberate and intentional with your art, leaving less up to chance or luck. Think of it like this - as a self-taught musican, you may be able to write a good song here and there, but if you know your music theory, you'll be able to really deconstruct why certain songs sound sound good and other's don't. Your craft will become more deliberate. From looking at your drawings, I get the sense that you are drawing things you are already good at. Your drawings are of good quality but there isn't a lot of perspective happening. You seem to have a basic understanding of form and shading, but they are not as convincing as they could be. The robot picture features a very cool amount of detail, but the forms just feel a little flat and two-dimensional. I've come to realise that a tell-tale sign that someone doesn't fully understand construction and form is that all their drawings feature things from a front-on angle, particularly faces. Perhaps you have done other drawings of subjects from different angles, but that is what truly demonstrates that an artist fully grasps fundemental construction techniques. Are you confident in your ability to draw faces and skulls from a 45 degree angle? Or any other angle? If the answer is no, then Drawabox will really help you. I hope this helps you in your decision. I wish you all the best and keep up the great drawings. Have fun! | 0 | 33,289 | 1.166667 | ||

It starts with very basic mark making and drawing from the shoulder but moves into dynamic sketching, perspective and construction. It is based on dynamic sketching concepts from Peter Han and Peter's mentor who I forget the name of. Some questions to consider: Can you draw a cube at any angle and have them all look correct (you can check this by extending the pairs of lines of the cube to the vanishing point)? Similarly, can you do the same with cylinders? How about other primitive shapes? What about organic forms with contours? Drawabox won't make you a professional artist, but it's a great foundation for creating drawings that have volume and feel like they have weight.

Have fun! | I did draw a box over 5 or 6 months, I had decided I wanted to start drawing and I really wanted to start back at square 1 and start relearning my fundamentals. Now once I started draw a box I really focused and trying my best to learn. Learning how to draw a line, and then a shape, and lastly a form. I also picked up different warm up exercises which I still use now. And I learned how to copy from reference. A little rule that I also kept with me was the 50% rule. 50% learning, 50% drawing for fun. Later on in the lessons I started to feel that the courses was just starting to restate over and over and over again the same points. Which yes I know it’s important to hear and reiterate on things but it did start to trudge on like a class you didn’t want to go to. So over all I highly recommend going through the lessons. But DON’T force it, if you are feeling burnt out because the lessons are too much or too long take a break 1,2 days and then come back to it with fresh eyes. And remember to apply the 50% rule don’t just do the courses, do part of the course and then do some fan art of do a life draw just draw for fun. And slowly things will start to click. One last thing don’t stop at draw a box. Just keep learning and looking to improve. | 1 | 33,844 | 1.4 | ||

Ive linked my first 3 drawings as an adult, I havnt drawn since elementary school until recently. I feel like I've got a pretty steady hand and that my construction skills are maybe half as good as an actually skilled artist. Im having a hard time convincing myself to commit such an enormous amount of time into learning what appears to basically be just construction.

I felt pretty confident in my abilities as I've drawn on and off since I was a very young child. However, I also had this nagging feeling that I was missing a lot of knowledge about fundamental theories. I committed to Drawabox and I'm really glad I did. The course helped in two major ways. Firstly it made me realise that I did in fact lack a lot of basic drawing knowledge. As a self-taught artist, it's very easy to fall into the trap of sticking to what you're already good at. This leads to a false sense of self-confidence. I considered myself a pretty damn good artist before I started Drawabox but once I dived in, I realised that there were a lot of basic things that I struggled to do. It's a bit of a shock to realise that you're not as good as you think you are. This kind of realisation is quite humbling but really helps you to take your skills to the next level. Secondly, it put into words a lot of things I had picked up intuitively over the years. A lot of the things you pick up as a self-taught artist happen by chance. Sometimes you can replicate them, other times you can't. Learning the theory behind fundamentals can help you become more deliberate and intentional with your art, leaving less up to chance or luck. Think of it like this - as a self-taught musican, you may be able to write a good song here and there, but if you know your music theory, you'll be able to really deconstruct why certain songs sound sound good and other's don't. Your craft will become more deliberate. From looking at your drawings, I get the sense that you are drawing things you are already good at. Your drawings are of good quality but there isn't a lot of perspective happening. You seem to have a basic understanding of form and shading, but they are not as convincing as they could be. The robot picture features a very cool amount of detail, but the forms just feel a little flat and two-dimensional. I've come to realise that a tell-tale sign that someone doesn't fully understand construction and form is that all their drawings feature things from a front-on angle, particularly faces. Perhaps you have done other drawings of subjects from different angles, but that is what truly demonstrates that an artist fully grasps fundemental construction techniques.

That said as a supplement it really is very helpful. | Drawabox focuses on helping you to think in 3D. It starts with very basic mark making and drawing from the shoulder but moves into dynamic sketching, perspective and construction. It is based on dynamic sketching concepts from Peter Han and Peter's mentor who I forget the name of. Some questions to consider: Can you draw a cube at any angle and have them all look correct (you can check this by extending the pairs of lines of the cube to the vanishing point)? Similarly, can you do the same with cylinders? How about other primitive shapes? What about organic forms with contours? Drawabox won't make you a professional artist, but it's a great foundation for creating drawings that have volume and feel like they have weight. Like others have stated, you can always give it a try and see what you think of it. | 1 | 20,928 | 1.125 | ||

Now once I started draw a box I really focused and trying my best to learn. Learning how to draw a line, and then a shape, and lastly a form. I also picked up different warm up exercises which I still use now. And I learned how to copy from reference. A little rule that I also kept with me was the 50% rule. 50% learning, 50% drawing for fun. Later on in the lessons I started to feel that the courses was just starting to restate over and over and over again the same points. Which yes I know it’s important to hear and reiterate on things but it did start to trudge on like a class you didn’t want to go to. So over all I highly recommend going through the lessons. But DON’T force it, if you are feeling burnt out because the lessons are too much or too long take a break 1,2 days and then come back to it with fresh eyes. And remember to apply the 50% rule don’t just do the courses, do part of the course and then do some fan art of do a life draw just draw for fun. And slowly things will start to click. One last thing don’t stop at draw a box.

Lesson 0 does a good job explaining how the course works and what to expect. | Drawabox focuses on helping you to think in 3D. It starts with very basic mark making and drawing from the shoulder but moves into dynamic sketching, perspective and construction. It is based on dynamic sketching concepts from Peter Han and Peter's mentor who I forget the name of. Some questions to consider: Can you draw a cube at any angle and have them all look correct (you can check this by extending the pairs of lines of the cube to the vanishing point)? Similarly, can you do the same with cylinders? How about other primitive shapes? What about organic forms with contours? Drawabox won't make you a professional artist, but it's a great foundation for creating drawings that have volume and feel like they have weight. Like others have stated, you can always give it a try and see what you think of it. | 0 | 379 | 5.333333 | ||

loaw7o | artfundamentals_train | 0.97 | Is drawabox right for me? I want to start a structured drawing program, but im not sure drawabox is what I need. Ive linked my first 3 drawings as an adult, I havnt drawn since elementary school until recently. I feel like I've got a pretty steady hand and that my construction skills are maybe half as good as an actually skilled artist. Im having a hard time convincing myself to commit such an enormous amount of time into learning what appears to basically be just construction. I see a lot of people swear by Drawabox, but maybe its not what I need? http://imgur.com/gallery/pxVzcWe | go5fues | go59q8m | 1,613,850,715 | 1,613,847,712 | 8 | 3 | Just start it. If you see you're not learning anything ... well, you will be learning and it will be hard.

Those lessons really are very basic for anyone with any background in art. Lesson 2 was pretty nice imo, but The Basics didn't teach me anything I didn't learn in art classes from back in High School, and in my experience, you don't just lose that knowledge either.
