nsoo7w | artfundamentals_train | 0.98 | How many people actually do the 250 box challenge? I stopped doing drawabox about half way the 250 box challenge because I got burnt out.

I did over the number of boxes recommended as I wanted to finish as soon as possible and did not follow the 50% rule. But it was quite satisfying as I could see myself improving almost every single day. I also did the warm ups everyday and made sure I had a clear goal and reminded myself what I was working towards. In terms of routine it was approximately like so: 1 page on the first day, then 2 pages the next day, then 4 pages the day after then finally 6 pages per day. Once I reached about 170 boxes I took a break because of a drawing event (drawfest). Then did 3-6 pages per day afterwards. When I was doing 6 pages (6 boxes per page), I did 1 page after I woke up, 2 pages soon after that. In the afternoon I'd do 2 pages, then before I sleep I did 1 page. Each box took between 7-20 minutes with how much time it took depending heavily on what I was focusing on. While doing the 250 box challenge I could feel the burn. But that's exactly what I should be feeling. People when they experience the burn they might just give up. But I don't want to be normal. I want to improve faster than the average person and I don't want to wait for 2-3 years just to become satisfied with my art.

zbgfxz | artfundamentals_train | 0.88 | I don’t see any improvement on the 250 box challenge, I’m on box 66 and it somehow manage to get even more crooked. I try to plot it, I ghost the lines, and poff they are waaay off when I check with a ruler. Should I redo lesson 1 or will it somehow click on a later box? | iysxobl | iyqvj5r | 1,670,106,655 | 1,670,074,499 | 15 | 1 | Is the point of this exercise to be able to draw a perfect box with perfect horizon lines without a ruler, every single time, hundreds of times in a row? That would be a useful skill to have, but I don't think it's a skill that anyone *needs* to be a good artist. I think it's much more important that you know the rules and how they are used than it is to be able to do it perfectly every time. Even a highly skilled draughtsman would use a ruler most of the time. There are more important things to worry about than this one specific skill. Also it sounds like by obsessing over these results you are forgetting lesson 0. "Failure is a beginners job". You aren't supposed to do these technical exercises correctly every single time. You are supposed to be learning how to get better at art. Learning how to learn you could say. If your goal is to make perfect boxes with perfect horizon lines every single time then you should *never* stop doing this exercise because that's how you get to the point where you can draw perfect boxes with perfect horizon lines hundreds of times in a row. It's more important to enjoy the process of making art and by being so self critical you are actively sabotageing yourself in that regard. These exercises aren't supposed to end when you get to the last lesson, you will need to practice them for as long as you are an artist. Maybe not pages of boxes over and over, but every time you draw a building you will be practicing this lesson again, and know what the rules are, why they are rules and when to break them is really the important part. I would suggest that you do the best you can with this exercise and then move onto the next. If you want to keep improving at this skill, make it part of your 50% time, but I think you will learn more things faster by going through the lessons at the recommended pace and not getting caught up on any one individual part. | **To OP**: Every post on this subreddit is manually approved, once we make sure it adheres to the subreddit rules, the main ones being the following: * That **all posts here must relate drawabox.com** (being either questions or homework submissions).

That would be a useful skill to have, but I don't think it's a skill that anyone *needs* to be a good artist. I think it's much more important that you know the rules and how they are used than it is to be able to do it perfectly every time. Even a highly skilled draughtsman would use a ruler most of the time. There are more important things to worry about than this one specific skill. Also it sounds like by obsessing over these results you are forgetting lesson 0. "Failure is a beginners job". You aren't supposed to do these technical exercises correctly every single time. You are supposed to be learning how to get better at art. Learning how to learn you could say. If your goal is to make perfect boxes with perfect horizon lines every single time then you should *never* stop doing this exercise because that's how you get to the point where you can draw perfect boxes with perfect horizon lines hundreds of times in a row. It's more important to enjoy the process of making art and by being so self critical you are actively sabotageing yourself in that regard. These exercises aren't supposed to end when you get to the last lesson, you will need to practice them for as long as you are an artist. Maybe not pages of boxes over and over, but every time you draw a building you will be practicing this lesson again, and know what the rules are, why they are rules and when to break them is really the important part. I would suggest that you do the best you can with this exercise and then move onto the next.

dxsj3l | artfundamentals_train | 0.9 | Found a new perspective or something while doing the 250 box challenge I'm 150 boxes into the challenge and trying to mix things up to avoid being repetitive and keep learning. I have a new box that I'm envisioning and start it out like this: https://i.imgur.com/OdmTkc3.png Following the rule of parallel lines converging to the same vanishing point, the next step would be to do: https://i.imgur.com/LPqzket.png Which would lead to a fine box, but not really the one that I was envisioning, which is more like this: https://i.imgur.com/Y0i2Spc.png Which I think also seems like it could be drawn properly? So, it seems like parallel lines have to converge to the same vanishing point, OR you can just make them parallel? This goes against the rules of the box challenge though... Is it some kind of other perspective? | f7w2a65 | f7wr3we | 1,574,029,126 | 1,574,036,595 | 8 | 11 | That last box doesn't make sense. The lines are not converging, and yet they are clearly not perpendicular to the plane that you've drawn. If you want to draw them parallel, you would draw a box in isometric perspective, but that's not the point of this course.If you think you have a good handle on it, you can try starting off with a plane instead of a Y. Doesn't really matter how you start it though. | The last box is the same exact box as the second one except it is offset down by some amount, in 3D space, with respect to the viewer. In general you can take any box and offset it by some distance up/down/left/right, while keeping the vanishing points at fixed locations. The box will remain valid and always keep the same orientation, but it will be moved relative to the viewer. What is not exactly correct is your assumption that the sides on the last box will necessarily be parallel. They will still converge at some point which is above the box, that is unless the perspective is extremely shallow. On which case it degrades into an orthographic projection of the box Interesting fact: boxes in perspective always fit inside the corresponding box in orthographic projection. | 0 | 7,469 | 1.375 | ||

x56sv6 | artfundamentals_train | 0.88 | How should I think about the 250 boxes challenge? So, I‘ve read through the 250 boxes challenge on the website and also watched the video by uncomfortable.

pasyyb | artfundamentals_train | 0.91 | Are there any testimonials to show that Drawabox.com works? Like does anyone have any before and after Drawabox works that shows a noticeable improvement? | ha7adec | ha86is8 | 1,629,834,592 | 1,629,848,264 | 57 | 76 | Hey! I started with drawabox one year ago in June, having never drawn before in my life. It took me a few months to complete, following which I took anatomy and figure drawing courses from Proko and am currently working through some Aaron Blaise material. Long story short - it definitely works. The principles that you work through in the first months will be used for every single drawing - the art of thinking in terms of volume and three dimensional structure, perspective, light etc. are fundamental to every drawing, and drawabox approaches that foundation in a systematic way. But make no mistake. Just because the course is great, doesn’t mean it’s a shortcut to mastery. Even after having practiced every day for more than a year, I’m not even close to considering myself good. I still feel like I have mileage to go through to really feel the mastery of drawabox’s lessons with every stroke. Here’s a very small sample of some cats I’ve practiced with recently https://imgur.com/a/r1zbqSk | Disclaimer: I went to art school and had been drawing since I was 15 when I started Drawabox. Here's a comparison between before lesson 1 and at lesson 4 and here's my lesson 1 submission and then my lesson 7 work. I started my instagram shortly before I started Drawabox and I still update it. I took longer than average to complete the course (2.5 years) because I work full time and this is just a hobby. I also did not take any other courses in that time and I did spend a fair amount of time just drawing for myself (before the 50% rule was formalised). Despite going to university for illustration, there were certain things that I was never taught and that I never managed to intuit on my own.

I started my instagram shortly before I started Drawabox and I still update it. I took longer than average to complete the course (2.5 years) because I work full time and this is just a hobby. I also did not take any other courses in that time and I did spend a fair amount of time just drawing for myself (before the 50% rule was formalised). Despite going to university for illustration, there were certain things that I was never taught and that I never managed to intuit on my own.

I started with drawabox one year ago in June, having never drawn before in my life. It took me a few months to complete, following which I took anatomy and figure drawing courses from Proko and am currently working through some Aaron Blaise material. Long story short - it definitely works. The principles that you work through in the first months will be used for every single drawing - the art of thinking in terms of volume and three dimensional structure, perspective, light etc. are fundamental to every drawing, and drawabox approaches that foundation in a systematic way. But make no mistake. Just because the course is great, doesn’t mean it’s a shortcut to mastery. Even after having practiced every day for more than a year, I’m not even close to considering myself good. I still feel like I have mileage to go through to really feel the mastery of drawabox’s lessons with every stroke. Here’s a very small sample of some cats I’ve practiced with recently https://imgur.com/a/r1zbqSk | 0 | 2,749 | 1.096154 | ||
