What is this 50% rule people are so religioous about? I put time and effort into the hard and fun parts. and the boring parts in the beginning i might have interpreted my way. Boobs are one form of blob. and ive done what i was instructed to do.
I need to have some fun in the meanwhile. I know my arrows are shit. i was a bit tired from last lesson. But im decently happy with textures and forwards.
It's alright to have fun when drawing but try not to sketch on your homework. The 50 percent rule isn't something that we just worship and praise its something we do so we can still have fun drawing what we want but also do the lessons without any extra doodles or sketches so we can stay focused. I'm not very good at explaining it so go back and read what it's about. https://drawabox.com/lesson/0/2/50percent and also try to re read the rest of lesson 0 as well. The stuff in their can really help us understand what drawabox is about.
oh. hehe.
I see what the fuzz is about then. I have not drawn much at all. I have quite severe problems with motivation so ive been focusing on doing the lessons. Which can often take over a month to complete.
I have not had a single tought off drawing anything else and what motivation i do get is to finish another task and see some improvement. I rarely do things for the sake of endogenous motivation and want.
I have many hours of drawing jack shit infront of me if im to catch up with that rule.
It's the same for me and many other hobbies I do. I don't think the pace you do things matter but as long as you learn it's good. Personally it took me almost a year to finish lesson 1 and i haven't even started on the 250 box challenge yet so I've got that going for me lol but i don't think you should continue to do lessons one after the other even though you have tons of drawings you've done. I think starting from scratch may help but its only a suggestion as you could try to utilize the 50 percent rule without having to worry about your past drawings. One of the main reasons of the 50 percent rule is to have fun! Have fun with drawing what you want and go on with your homework. As you do this more and more you may see yourself feeling a-lot more motivated.
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
