Took a Year Break from Drawabox, should I continue to 250 Boxes or Restart?

4:36 PM, Tuesday February 4th 2025

I think it's been a year since I had the urge to draw anything good again. I started Drawabox on October 2023, and finished lesson 1 on December 2023, but because I was frankly a bit impatient, I stopped after lesson 1 and never started 250 Boxes. It's been a year since then, I've met people and experienced things that made me want to appreciate and start drawing again, so I have been drawing casually again for the past few months (around August 2024) and I decided to seriously start learning drawing again, but I am having doubts on whether I should continue 250 boxes immediately or start over with Lesson 1 again since it has been a year.

Should I repeat? or should I continue?

Thanks for giving feedback ( also for taking the time to read this too!

This is a screenshot of Uncomfortable's reply to a similar question on the Discord. Basically, re-read the lesson materials because they may have changed (I know for sure the 250 box challenge has been updated since then), and focus on warm-ups for about a week before picking up where you left off. Be sure that your warm-ups include a mix of every exercise you've completed up to this point, and you should be good to go after a week.

Also welcome back!

Another "year break"er here. You would be surprised how much information you had is retained somewhere in your brain. I just re-read all the material and did 3 pages of warmups and I was right where I left it, hell, somehow even better lol!

Stan Prokopenko's had been teaching figure drawing as far back as I can remember, even when I was just a regular student myself. It's safe to say that when it comes to figure drawing, his tutelage is among the best.
