In the later lessons like 4/5 where the drawabox demands us to do full pages of a subject however the size of my drawings are such that only one drawing of a subject could be fit in a single page
Recently started to feel for guilty for just doing one drawing and calling it a full pages.
Is it normal or should I make some amends
One drawing is perfectly fine, I've done one drawing per page throughout all of drawabox. But it doesn't matter whether you do 1 or 10 drawings per page. What matters is that you give yourself the space needed to fully demonstrate your abilities and to understand the animal / insect in 3d space.
Thank you so much, it relieved me so much .
Just a little request, can you tell me some exercise or some way to test my spacial reasoning skills or my understand of 3d space, if possible! To actually see whether what I am applying to my drawings really fits the demands of the actual principles of 3d world!!
Thanks ones again!!
No worries!
Pretty much all of Drawabox is essentially a test / exercise of your spatial reasoning skills / understanding of 3d space because it's all about conveying form on a flat page. But if you want a specific test of your skills you can pick any object and try to rotate it on a page kind of like the rotated boxes exercise from lesson 1.
The reason that 1 drawing per page is good is because you give yourself the whole page to understand the subject and how it sits in 3D space. The way you apply this to your drawings is by understanding that every form you put down on a page isn't 2D (unless you want it to be) and to treat it like a 3D object in the real world.
Feel free to ask questions if anything is still unclear!
Thanks ones again!!!
If you don't mind AGAIN! Can you please specify or give a little more in-depth of the object for the exercise like should it be a primitive simple form. A complex one made from another forms. A real world object. A reference . Still life . Nature around me . Something like that
Just bear with me because there will be more stupid questions to pop up!! thanks
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
