Sorry i should have asked in the first reply but, since i finished lesson 1 should i start doing daily warmups on the things i'm doing weak on, ghosted lines(arcing), accuracy, and ellipses?
Hello!
First of all no need to apogolize! It's a good thing to ask.
And no. You should do the warm ups for around 15 minutes before working on a drawabox lesson.
Rather than doing warm ups regularly it is better to try to do the challenges and lessons regularly (which come with warm ups so two birds with one stone?). However regular doesn't mean daily as that might not be a realistic goal. Remember you will improve even if you don't draw daily and getting a burnout is not going to benefit you.
The reason I told you to practice those things in your warm ups was so that you won't focus on improving your lines when doing boxes as that challenge is meant to tackle other things.
Also just to mention you are probably going to see the things I pointed out in your lines when doing boxes which is completely normal. And in general you will always see things that need improvement.
Thank you, i will keep try to focus more on if the construction of the boxes themselfs on the 250 box challenge, right now burnout is the opposite of what i am feeling cause last 3 months i couldn't really draw cause of school, but i'll keep in mind to take breaks.
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.
