So it has been about a month since i started draw a box. Am at box 100 in the 250 box challenge. So far it feels kind of good, but quite boring some times (or often). But I'm glad for the effect the 50% rule has on me. I'm today a lot more confident in just doodeling. I dare to try new materials anc concept. Because as negative thoughts come up, like what I draw is crap. I can now easily respond that it is ok. We are going to do a lot more of this and sometimes we will generate gold, other times shit. It also is easier now to separate drawing for fun, from drawing for practice. So I used to ask myself if I waste my time just doodeling aimlessly. Now I can tell myself: now is play time, after this practice (the draw 250 boxes challenge).

You're very much welcome!

This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff is a ubiquitous name in art instruction - not just through his work on the Draftsmen podcast and his other collaborations with Proko, but in his own right. He's been teaching anatomy, gesture, and perspective for decades, and a number of my own friends have taken his classes at the Laguna College of Art and Design (back around 2010), and had only good things to say about him. Not just as an instructor, but as a wonderful person as well.

Many of you will be familiar with his extremely cheap 1994 Perspective Drawing lectures, but here he kicks it up to a whole new level.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
