Thanks for these lessons. Already seeing some progress but I know I have a lot of room for improvement. Circles felt rough in particular. Last few exercise were good challenges. Noticing when I slow down and really focus, take more time, flow and accuracy come together better. Probably rushed more than I really should have at times with these, but in a strange way, these exercises are one of the few things giving me a reason to slow down at all lately. Could definitely use more of this. Do I move on to 250 boxes now?

I think your pages look good and moving on to 250 boxes is a great next step. If circles felt challenging then they would probably make for a great warmup. Well done!

While you have already received critique from a community member, I do want to point out that if you want official critique from Uncomfortable or one of the TAs, you'll need to resubmit this for official critique using your credits. If you don't care about official crits and just want to support what Uncomfy is doing here at DaB, then let me know and I'll go ahead and agree with TinyMighty's crit so that you can get your lesson 1 badge ^u^

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
