Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
3:52 PM, Sunday March 29th 2020
Lesson 1 completed.
I discovered DrawABox through a recommendation on Twitter and the second I dove into the website, I knew I would like it. I learned a lot.
My only criticism of the lesson is: When we're meant to do rotated boxes exercise, that is the part where we're thrown into the pool without knowing how to swim, and I get why is that. It was also enjoyable and the final piece is quite cool to look at, but the next exercise (2 pages of organic perspective) is again have us do something we're not ready for and that I didn't enjoy anymore. I think having one homework exercise we're not ready for is enough. I was quite frustrated with the second one and just wanted to be over with. I didn't feel like I'm learning anything and felt discouraged.
I'm sure there's a good reason for it, but maybe something to reconsider? I think that's a point where a lot of people would quit thinking either feeling overwhelmed or not having fun.
For me it was the first time I wasn't having fun, but I'm surely not quitting. ;)
