I have a couple questions about drawabox.
Something that I do not understand about the 50/50 rule is that if includes ALL drawabox time (including watching the videos and reading) or just the assignments. Thanks!
You'll find that this is actually specifically addressed in this section from the lesson material:
Additionally, remember that the spirit of the rule is all about balance. Balancing the time you spend studying with time you spend exploring and playing. Do not worry about the specifics of "do I count the time I spend reading/watching the material towards my studies" — it really doesn't matter. This isn't something you need to use a timer for, or track with any real diligence.
I interpreted as a section. For example, just finished Line reading+videos+homework, go draw something for yourself. Next time, pick where you stopped.
The course is already too stiff with exercises and this is not a competition. Never forget why you started.
You could maybe spend a day on DAB, and the next on free drawing. No real 1:1 time, but that is a way to go "50/50"
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
