Hello,

I just downloaded Discord app to join the Drawabox community but I have no idea how works or/and how to enter in a chat...

My name there is MayADay.

Could someone please give me some tips and/or put me in a group?

Thanks in advance :)

Hey, the first step is to join the Drawabox Discord server. The server is a big hub for all of the people working on Drawabox, critiquing others, sharing their art outside of Drawabox, or just chatting. I'm on a computer and I'm not sure what the Drawabox website looks like if you're on mobile, but you should be able to click on the little Discord icon in the top right to receive an invitation from the Drawabox server.

Once you've joined, you have access to the entire server. There are a few channels you can't type in, like the list of rules and announcements, but you should be able to chat in every other server by clicking the bar on the bottom of the screen. You should read through the server rules and have to agree to them to chat. A little window with the rules should pop up when you join. I've mainly used the Discord for the critique exchange program, but there's many channels with their different purposes explained on the top of page.

I hope this helps, sorry I'm not sure exactly what everything looks like on mobile.

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 :)

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 :)

Thanks for what you said about my critique. That was my first and I tried to go straight since I am not that advanced on Draw A Box. Hope it helped Hal9000.

Sure I may see your 250 Boxes, but right now I'm on phone and it's too small to see it well. As soon as I have access to my notebook I will give a look.

See ya!

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! :)

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

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.
