    I've done 50 out of 100 using a lot of the reference. Now I'll do the rest by creating my own designs. Thank you so much for your attention and great feedback

    Well, it’s impossible to practice art without comparing yourself to others. And while I was working on the planes—on this one https://imgur.com/a/QAQlC7g in particular—I also saw some submissions from other students, like this one https://imgur.com/a/GOnhYTN and that one https://imgur.com/a/zjLe1du .And, you know, it didn’t bother me just because mine looked ugly, but also because I’ve already been on Drawabox for a year and I still didn’t really understand how to make the wing look like it’s actually coming out of the page, you know? Like this example https://imgur.com/a/zjLe1du . But anyway, I’m going to do the 100 chests challenge, and after that I think I’ll practice some more, maybe take a perspective course—I don’t really know. Either way, thanks a lot for the feedback, as always. It really helped me and reassured me too.

    I'm happy to agree with everything you said because that's what I was thinking while doing this. Well, I want that satisfaction, the fact that I don't dedicate much time has been a problem from the beginning not only here at drawabox but in everything I do, this desire and anxiety to finish as quickly as possible, I'm working on it and redoing this lesson without worrying about time will be proof of that.

    Thank you again

    Yes, I saw the content of drawabox again I looked for something useful on YouTube and I would also look on discord but these sites were exactly what I needed

    Thanks man

    Thanks for the great feedback. I did have some trouble with a few textures. In fact, negative space is something I'm still struggling with. But these diagrams are going to be really helpful for me. I also still want to do the 25 texture challenge, so… I’ll definitely apply some of this feedback when I’m working on that too.

    Look, I don't know if it's the same thing, but I'll tell you what I went through, and what I'm still going through in relation to my visual library studies and also about free drawing. I started making a sketchbook in mid-January and I haven't even gotten close to halfway through yet. Anyway, it turns out that before it took me 10, 20 days and now it's taking me five, four, three days. To complete each page and I really make a mess, and most of them I don't really admire but some I even think are incredible. I just do whatever comes to mind, a lot of things have to do with the class I was in at Drawabox. And when I wanted to practice my visual library, I would always procrastinate and look for something to do. I'm changing that, just doing it. So, I also felt that way because I didn't know what to draw, I didn't think I could draw that and I said, well, let's do it. This notebook I'm talking about is a bit big, so I think one of the things you can do is buy an unlined notebook, a bit smaller than a school notebook, because with each page you complete you feel more capable and you can put on some music that you like while you do this free drawing, for activities and exercises that involve more focus, I don't think it's good, but for free drawing it's interesting as long as you don't become a hostage to it, you know, wanting to listen to music more than drawing (I also noticed that this happened to me) and at least with me this procrastination, fear and such is a bit of a reflection of how I am as a person, in everyday life as I improved in other aspects this also improved (I don't know if this is your case) here on drawabox there's also a topic about this I'll leave a link in case you haven't seen it.

    Anyway, I hope it helped and sorry for the huge text.

    So I wanted to know which ones had turned out better to use more or less as a reference but through your explanation I can already do that thank you.

    I hope it's okay but I did all 50 today but at different times

    Ok. Thank you very much for attention

    My question is whether this point where the two lines of contact meet means the place where the minor axis would best align with the ellipse similar to X to find the center of a square. But from what you said I don't think it's anything like that. I'm tripping.

    Thank you very much

    My time is still around thirty minutes but I think it's getting better. And I realized how little effort I was putting into keeping the lines clean.

    Thanks for your attention and for another feedback.

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.

Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
