It's totally normal. We were actually talking about this in the discord chat server last night. Here's a screenshot of the relevant conversation. The 250 box challenge is really not a sprint - it's going to take time, and it's going to be a thing you chip away at gradually. It's a marathon, something you pace out, with plenty of other drawing (as per the 50% rule) alongside it.
Quick question Uncomfortable. I read the story about how the first 250 box challenge came about. The student with some questions and being directed to "go draw 250 boxes". I'm curious, how long did it take that person?
Honestly that was ages ago - I don't even remember who they were, let alone how long it took them. At the time the challenge was quite different too, and didn't include specifics like the use of the Y method, or the line extensions, both of which make the challenge far more valuable (and time consuming) today.
ah, I see. I was picturing a person walking along thinking to themselves, "Yep, 250 boxes, that was me. Number 1!" : )
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
