Draw a Box: My First Steps into Drawing

·1 min
Table of Contents
One of the skills I’ve decided to develop is drawing. While I could simply sit down and start drawing - which would certainly be better than doing nothing - I realized that figuring out all the drawing concepts on my own would be an unnecessarily long and time-consuming process.

After searching for structured learning resources, I discovered Draw a Box, a comprehensive program for learning the fundamentals of drawing.

Current Progress: Lesson One #

I’m currently working through Lesson One, gradually approaching the infamous 250 boxes challenge. Here’s what I’ve completed so far:

Lines Homework #

Superimposed Lines from Lesson One
Ghosted Lines practice from Lesson One
Ghosted Planes practice from Lesson One

Ellipses Practice #

Tables of Ellipses practice from Lesson One
Ellipses in Planes exercise
Funnels exercise with ellipses

Box Construction #

Plotted Perspective exercise
Rough Perspective practice
Rotated Boxes exercise
Organic Perspective exercise

Initial Reflections #

Even at this early stage, I can already feel improvements in my drawing skills. The ghosting method, in particular, has helped me draw with more confidence. While my lines might not be perfect yet, they’re noticeably better than when I started - and that’s what progress is all about!

Follow along with my drawing journey as I continue to practice and improve.
