This might sound a bit dumb, but would it be alright if I used a brush pen for the extra 50 boxes? I have fineliners and regular ballpoint pens but I want to practice drawing with a brush pen with boxes.
I would do the practice with the brush pen outside of drawabox. Doing the boxes with brushpen will add extra difficulty that can hinder your progress, so I don't recommend it.
Sounds like a plan, thx dude
I'll add to the user below - by using a brush pen you have to control the width of your line while simultaneously trying to get the line straight and converging at the right angle. The box challenge wants specific things out of it, so it's not a good idea to add difficulty.
At the same time, I do understand that learning such a cool tool as a brush pen is tempting, so I suggest doing in separately and perhaps, over time, incorporating it into your warm-ups.
True, using a brush pen is tempting but maybe doing it seperately sounds like a better idea than just doing it in the boxes. Thx dude
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
