Drawbox Series and anatomy and buildings

11:26 AM, Sunday February 1st 2026

If I want to start learning anatomy and buildings without paying anything, How Will I start? and what lessons from the drawabox course will be helpful for these subjects? And do I need to complete the entire course before starting these subjects?

Make it at minimum to lesson three my friend You will be able to start doing mannequins at that point basic gesture It may be a bit of a grind and a bit of a slog but the benefits outweigh the negatives

Anatomy is a huge subject and I don't know of a thorough course that is for free. I know there are some free lessons through Proko in their anatomy course and in the figure drawing course. If you can afford it, there are some books that could help, but it would depend on what you want to draw. You don't actually need a ton of anatomy for comics or manga.

Buildings might best be approached through perspective study. Drawabox is not intended as a perspective course even though it has perspective in it. Buildings are just complicated boxes. There are resources online for that as well as artists who focus on them.

I would actually say go through lesson 5 if you want to do anatomy. It looks at organic shapes of animals and that isn't far from people.

Proko's Figure Drawing Fundamentals

Proko's Figure Drawing Fundamentals

Stan Prokopenko's had been teaching figure drawing as far back as I can remember, even when I was just a regular student myself. It's safe to say that when it comes to figure drawing, his tutelage is among the best.

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.
