START YOUR JOURNEY TODAY


ANYONE CAN LEARN TO DRAW. IT'S NOT SOME MAGICAL TALENT A FEW PEOPLE ARE BORN
WITH. IT'S A SKILL YOU CAN TRAIN. WE CAN HELP.

Drawabox is a set of free exercise-based lessons that focus on the fundamentals
- the skills you'll need to make sense of all the other resources and tutorials
out there. First we focus on the basic mechanics of mark making, and how to use
your arm. By the end, we develop a strong understanding of form, 3D space and
construction.

I won't lie to you - our approach is tough and involves a lot of hard work. It's
also structured and gives you a clear path with concise explanations and
assignments you can complete and submit for review.

You can read more about Drawabox and how it came about here.

Or you can join the community of thousands of beginners and professionals alike
and get started.




HOMEWORK



Once you've completed a lesson, one of the best ways to refine your
understanding of that material is to help others by critiquing their work. After
having done thousands of critiques and having improved immensely over the last
few years, I can attest to that myself.

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 I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.


STAEDTLER PIGMENT LINERS

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).

 * PART ONE: THE BASICS
   
   AN OVERVIEW OF BASIC SKILLS - BOTH TECHNICAL AND CONCEPTUAL - WITH EXERCISES
   THAT YOU WILL INCORPORATE INTO YOUR REGULAR WARMUPS FOR A LONG TIME TO COME.
   NO MATTER HOW SKILLED OR EXPERIENCED YOU ARE, START AT LESSON 0.
   
   * 
   * 
   * 


 * CHALLENGES AND DRILLS
   
   A SERIES OF DRILLS THAT FIT INTO THE LESSONS AT VARIOUS TIMES. THESE SHOULD
   NOT ALL BE COMPLETED AFTER LESSON 2, BUT RATHER WILL BE LISTED AS RECOMMENDED
   NEXT STEPS OR PREREQUISITES AS YOU FOLLOW THE NUMBERED LESSONS IN ORDER.

 * PART TWO: CONSTRUCTIONAL DRAWING
   
   AN EXPLORATION OF HOW COMPLEX OBJECTS CAN BE BROKEN DOWN INTO THEIR
   FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENTS, THEN REBUILT FROM SIMPLE FORMS. WE LOOK AT THIS
   CONCEPT OF CONSTRUCTIONAL DRAWING BY APPLYING IT TO MANY DIFFERENT TOPICS -
   THE FOCUS IS NOT ON LEARNING HOW TO DRAW THAT SPECIFIC SUBJECT MATTER, BUT
   RATHER TO TACKLE CONSTRUCTION FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.
