Hey, it's alright now you know about that :)

I think I heard about this curriculum and it has been even discussed by Uncomfortable himself on the Discord. It has great resources and it has a great overall list of things that you should practice, however it is TERRIBLE for the time frames it gives you.

Art cannot be speedrunned, the brain needs time to absorb the contents we practice and we need time to develop the muscle memory, and when it comes to Drawabox on that curriculum it's just not possible to complete it that quickly without breaking some of the principles of DAB, like the 50? rule. Which is very important so that you don't burn out and you actually apply the things that you learned so you can actually tell that you learned something. Plus 250 cylinders is heavily recommended to be tackled only after completing Lesson 5.

Rushing through the course will actually get you worse results, and it's heavily discouraged by the creator and everyone who has completed the course. I heavily encourage you to, if you decide to follow the Radiorunner curriculum, to use it just as a loose guide of resources and what to practice, and completely disregard it's time frames.

And hey that's great! Continue practicing and good luck on the rest of your DAB and drawing journey :)

Did you already complete the challenge? If yes you don't need to do it again I believe, but remember to keep practicing boxes and cylinders in your warm ups.

If you have just a few pages complete or haven't started yet I would give it a pause and start where you left off after you finish Lesson 5.

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.
