    Hello, sorry to hear that.

    May it helps hearing that throughout the course I had some burn outs too.

    It is important to understand how you want to challenge yourself and more important what's your goals + how much time you can/want really to dedicate to the lessons.

    I started the everyday method following the course strictly but then something clicks.

    I know that may one day I will be redoing it all may paying and being reviewed by 'Uncomfortable' himself.

    Double work? Yup, for sure but at least I'm in line with my decision and fine with that.

    I follow schedules only for important things, so more in this case, I'm not a person that will be aiming of an everyday thing plus as an already a self thought artist I want to improve my art but, for now, not professionally so maybe this method is not the best for me but in general I'm okay of doing it solo with the rollercoaster flow with its ups and down 'cause it's working for me.

    The best will be following the thing as said but I think everyone has to find his own path.

    Anyway, responding to your question, if it was max 3 months I think it will be okay of may doing like 50 boxes and then be back on for the review again but as 1 year passed by, if you really want to follow the course, it will be better restarting.

    Wish you the best :)

    Good evening Lublu,

    I just come to suggest you that I understand your willing to help but to not give any comment on someone else lesson unless you're has already been criticized.

    Don't take it as a critic, it's just a reminder from the Drawabox rules.

    Have a good journey :)

    Hello...

    I don't want to be rude and I'm sorry to say that the main difficulty here, in whole lesson, is the confidence, it seems like no ghosting method is applied.

    So going in more details:

    • In the ghosted lines and the ghosted planes you may a achieve the lines to go to the points but the lack of confidence caused wobbly lines.

    • For ellipses I might save the page of funnels but the rest or don't follow the delivery, the table of ellipses, or are too wobbly, ellipses in planes.

    • For the rough perspective, the third row of first page and on the second page the second+third row, the perspective lines are pretty good. For the boxes the wobbly lines remain.

    • For rotated boxes I will not much comment on that 'cause is a though exercise but if I have to say something, aside wobbling, the cubes that follows the principal lines are good.

    -On the last, the organic perspective, I see the effort on rotating the boxes but again the wobbling part catch the eye.

    I'm sorry repeating the wobbling word so much but is important to me to make sure that you can see the good things and the mistakes.

    I will write on Discord chat to see if someone else could help me define your best next step 'cause, I'm not sure what here will be the next step and I don't think I can mark the lesson as completed...

    I hope for now that my comment may help you somehow...

    Good luck with the journey :)

    You're welcome, we are all on the same journey and don't worry we will improve somehow someday. I'm sure it had, he better now know where he can continue on and where has to improve :)

    Yeah, sure it's not that easy on the small screen :o

    See ya! :)

    Thanks, the app is new to me and I'm learning step by step. :)

    I read and liked how you commented on Hal9000 lesson 1. You observed and evaluated according to the criteria of what the exercises required, making a good point on what was well done and what needed to be reviewed.

    I know you have just finished lesson two but can I take the opportunity to ask you, if possible, to have a look and a comment on my 250 box challenge? It would meant a lot to me.

    Thanks again for the comment and see you again maybe on Discord or Drawabox :)

    Hello,

    I agree with @Ivopedro.

    The work overall is a good job 'cause you see the effort but the training with breathing more through (more ghosting) will brought certainly an improvement on the things that he pointed out.

    Well done and good luck with the journey of next lesson. :)

    Next Steps:

    250 box challenge

    Thanks for replying

    I somehow managed to get to the chat.

    Your comment now anyway is really helpful to make me confirm my doubts of if I did everything alright.

    By reading your description i can tell there's not so much difference rather than the size of the screen

    Thanks again

    Have a good day :)

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
