Hi, I'm just back from a long break because of school, and finally have some time to draw again.
I'm wondering if I should restart the entire thing, because I wasn't drawing while I was at school (I know dumb mistake), but I feel so lazy to repeat the entire thing again.
So I wonder if I should just continue (currently in 250 box challenge, 70th box) or just repeat it.
Best Regards,
Vintages
You should continue, exept do a 30 min warmuo to get you back on your feet. Don't redo the whole course as it is a time waste
Unless you were gone for a really long time, it should be enough to just revisit some of the exercises as a refresher and then continue where you left off.
I think you should focus on doing warm ups before you get into the 250 box challenge again. It also depends on how long you took a break for, a month? 2 weeks? 3 months? A big part of the DrawABox approach is motivation, focus on doing your 50% rule for now and before you get into the box challenge again do your warmups for 10-15 mins.
I'm a beginner myself so I don't have the best advice to give, sorry!
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
