Thanks Comfy, I was wondering how this would work as I started out without official critique to try Drawabox out for free to make sure that it was something I could stick with. After completing lesson two, I felt that it was time to start investing in official critique.

Was there another way I should have gone about this? I genuinely love your service and want to be the best student I can be for you all.

The page I linked you to from Lesson 0 (here, again) explains the rules associated with official critique. The short of it is that if you decide upon completing Lesson 2 to pursue official critique, ideally you'd start over from the beginning, with two basic exceptions that I don't openly list because I don't want to encourage people to try and get around those rules:

  • Your old Lesson 1 work can be submitted if for whatever reason it still represents your current skill level and understanding of the concepts.

  • You can submit your 250 box challenge work with 50 additional boxes done after your Lesson 1 work was marked as complete through official critique.

Nothing beyond that is permitted to be reused, so again - you will be doing your Lesson 2 work over.

Thank you for being patient with me. I missed "You effectively have until you're finished Lesson 1's homework to decide which track you'd like to take (without redoing anything)."

However this is fine as it's a long journey anyway so redoing a lesson doesn't seem that bad in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks again for everything

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
