Not having enough knowledge on later lession and feeling stuck?

7:09 PM, Wednesday April 8th 2026

I've been going through lesson one at a snail pace to relearn things but I'm starting to understand, I'm not progressing Is it better to accept that I don't understand a lot of things And work on those mistakes overtime or focus on Learning the very least about it so I can move forward? Such as I personally feel they haven't able to learn anything when it comes to

Rotating boxes, Line-weight, Texture, Form Intersections and Organic Intersections. Is this a normal thing? - Just looking for some advice so, I can move forward or no where I am in my Journey, cause I feel Majorly under prepared for L4. - Although I have had some significant progress in the aspect of perspective and Line control/ Line economy

A few thoughts:

  1. The exercises are meant to be challenging and each time I dip into the next lesson I have felt more out of my depth to "make it look great". Some of these skills will likely be improved as you go. I've found that an extra ten minutes of warmup each day has helped me, mostly in calming myself down more than actually improving a skill.

  2. I'd make sure you're leaning consistently into the 50% rule and drawing for pure creativity, fun, or whatever.

  3. No Grinding means you don't need to repeat lessons unless you get specific feedback from someone to do so. I've had to do several extra pieces in Lessons 3 and 4, but I appreciated the time to do those extra pieces and it was better to have specific pieces to make new rather than just doubling the workload without having that work see someone else's eyes.

This was some good advice I'll be honest

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.
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.

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz

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.

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.
