    I see. Indeed when you browse the internet, you notice that artists have a lot of advise. My art teacher for example recommands the one-line silhouette drawing as a warm-up so that you wrist muscles can be flexible and ready to make curves.

    It is said to have been created by Picasso himself!

    As I validated lesson 2, I think I'll add the organic for and the contour form exercice to the warm up on top of those from lesson 1.

    As I still need training with the texture exercice I'll also add it when I have enought positive feedback on the discord.

    Thanks for the answer!

    I confirm that you didn't say that only exercices from lesson 1 should be the one from lesson 1. Hence my question. So how deep goes the "pool of warmup" exercices?

    Lesson 3's eight pages of plant drawing and lesson 4 arachnids drawing also does not look like warm up exercices. But the 250 boxes challenge and the cylinder challenge and even the wheel does seem to feet into that category.

    On the draw a box course, what would be the complete list of the exercices intended to become warm-up exercices after beeing understood sufficientily and validated by a Teaching Assistant?

    As always thanks for you answer!

    You're right. I posted my question and I got an immediate answer!

    Indeed the discord seems to be more active than the question/discussion section of the website.

    I need several feedback for lesson 3 so I'll use the discord.

    I see. I didn't know.

    I'll do as you say and post my question on Discord on the server.

    What kind of topics can we discuss ont Question/ Discussion section of drawabox.com?

    Advise on pen brands? Motivation problems?

    Thanks for your answer! As I thought, my minor and major aren't correct.

    The link to the video is very useful too . I'll try to train using the examples in this video. You really need to train a lot to validate the 250 cylinder challenge...

    Could someone please have a look (using the link I put above) to my work on cylinders and give his/ her opinion if I've done the checking correctly?

    I've made the challenge once but I could get the badge because my axis were not correct in my cylinders and also because I didn't know how to check.

    Thanks in advance for remarks and critics.

    Thanks for the advice and for your answer. I re-read the exercice and indeed I sometimes tend to get back to draw from my wrist instead of my shoulder. So I'll focus more on the exercices from lesson one which involve the shoulder such as the gosthing exercice and the super-imposed lines.

    What causes me more troubles though is drawing a ellispes through axis or a lines. As you can see the variations of the ellispses on my flow line is not correct. How can I improve at doing this?

    What are the exercices of Draw of Box which focus on the variations of the ellipse degree?

    Hello,

    Yes if I were you, that's what I would do : working on the 250 boxes challenge. You'll need it for the exercices on lesson 3.

    During the pending time feel free to post your boxes sample for feedback. You can also ask for feedback about the challenge itself as there are 2 main parts.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for answering my question

    I took back my page and tried as you said to put the minor axis horizontally but then how do I know wich one is correct?

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
