Imgur: The magic of the Internet

What exactly is this? I don't know. Is there a meaning behind it? No. Just a scene that appeared in my head one day and thought "hey cool, let me draw that for fun." This isn't the first one though, it is a recreation of a drawing I made in highschool. I lost it however, so I decided to bring it back by remaking it. I got a bunch of other things in my head I wish to draw too.

I can't say I'm proud of this one, I still struggle a lot with thinking in 3D and a lot of things turn out flat as a result. So the little island looks... off. Whatever. No point in getting mad a myself again for the 100th time because something I worked on for a long time didn't turn out great. It also looks... childish. If that is the correct word. Although I myself don't know why I think that. Must be because it doesn't look "professional" or something. Just the critical and emotional part of my brain trying to come up with reasons to hate it. And I did for quite some time but now I feel a little indifferent towards it. I don't care, garbage art is still better than nothing, and this is certainly something. I'll end it there before the self deprecation begins again.

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.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).

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.
