One question: In your opinion would someone with extremely limited knowledge of drawing fundamentals still be able to get a lot of this course? Like does he assume you already have a certain level of skill?

In most courses what you learn here will be needed in the future. So if I could give you any advice I would focus on drawabox, especially to get comfortable with cylinders and boxes in space placement, as these are the foundations of drawing.

I've been in that place too, I wanted to take portraits or drawing complex things right away, but sometimes it's worth taking a step back to get up to speed, and drawabox will make you get so much more out of each course.

Ok, thank you. I might break down and just commit to DAB. It's so daunting though.

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.

Drawabox isn't the be-all, end-all of drawing fundamental education. Our approach prioritizes certain concepts over others, and while we believe it do so for good reasons, ultimately it doesn't appeal to everyone. If Drawabox simply doesn't work for you, give Proko's Drawing Basics course a try - at the very least, you'll probably find it to be a hell of a lot more fun.
