I think his teaching method works for me, but I don't know what to draw after I finish my daily exercises, or how to apply them to personal work.I feel like I have no creativity at all. Maybe I'm just depressed... but I still enjoy practicing
why is his skin the color of poop?
Too bad theres no art course to fix your mental illness
>>7718421He has a course for that, sucks ass though. Not even worth pirating.The Science of Deciding What You Should Drawhttps://www.proko.com/course/the-science-of-deciding-what-you-should-drawThis article is okhttps://drawabox.com/lesson/0/2Try something like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdXQkXex7o0https://www.muddycolors.com/2020/08/the-goal-folder/https://www.muddycolors.com/2020/12/goal-folder-2-0-a-very-simple-technique/
>>7718425That's a good question, actually. I guess the sun was dangerous where his ancestors lived and pooped.
>>7718458Following your logic, are white people made of milk?
>>7718467Why wouldn't they be? you are what you eat dumbass.
>>7718486So drinking milk causes you to be white and eating poop causes you to be brown?
>>7718421How do you even improve your creativity? In art, math, programming, and so on.
>>7718579Not possible.
>>7718425He's Asian, and it's his style.
>>7718421honest question, why do you even want to learn to draw if you don't have any desire to draw?
>>7718579Intuition. You have to be able to listen to yourself and enter your inner cosmos.
>>7718579Also, the more time you spend training your brain to solve a problem type, the better you will get at it. Creativity is problem solving. If you do it often you will get used to it.
>>7721320>AsianI tend to find that the vast majority of Asian artists are needlessly dickheads for the sake of being dickheads. Fuck ‘em.
>>7718421It's a course by an autist for autists, any person above retardation quickly realises that it is a massive waste of time. It's a great containment zone for morons and art failures though.
>>7721331I never said i didnt want to draw, i enjoy practicing fundamentals. But when i have to put MY ideas on paper they look bad
>>7721355as always, post your work.
at the end of the day he made a good chunk of money and never has to work a day in his life ever again. I bet Peter Han is seething till this day about this.
>>7718425No one has answered this to my satisfaction.
>>7721669which type of poop, bird poop?
>>7721669he was born from all the poop filled with the frustration of artist who couldnt draw boxes. Thats why he is only good at that
>>7721682if you're gonna bump this howie thread at least post your work
>>7721649Sure, here is my head drawing tutorial, oh wait it's the drawabox creators head drawing tutorial.

>>7721939holy newfag
>>7721904>"pyw!">posts irshad's work>"haha trash!">reveals that it's actually irshad's work>"umm ackshually!"Missed opportunity
>>7718421>Drawaboxcrabbed, lmfao
>>7718421
>>7718421Who is this?
>>7724580A permabeg with skin allegedly on the fecal side of the spectrum, though I wouldn't know.
>>7718421But why is he brown doe?
My problem with drawabox is that working with fineliner feels fundamentally different from exploring and sketching with a pencil, and it doesn't teach that at all. So when you sit down to do the stupid "50/50" rule you can't apply anything from the exercises to thatI still think it's useful at teaching perspective and form but it feels like it totally misses the mark as an intro drawing course because fineliner is so hyper specific
>>7718425>>7721682>>7721911>>7724676>>7726418autistic anglocuck man-CHILDREN seething over the fact, that they have to learn to draw from a brown MAN. Who by the way mogs them.
>>7726778Not only mogs, but is far more wealthier than them. Excess snot and tears every night stains their pillows.
>>7726732I use a pencil idgaf, I used to use fine liners but that shit aint cheap
>>7726732I dislike books like Drawing on the right side of the Brain and Drawing for the Absolute and Utter Beginner. they way they insist that you use certain mediums. No i am not buying all those different types of paper, pens, brushes, colors, erasers or even ink and charcoals. I will just use a graphite pen, regular eraser and an A4 sketch book. That is sufficient for studying the fundamentals.
>>7726778>>7726787Wait, are you implying that poopy skin is a bad thing??
>>7726732>My problem with drawabox is that working with fineliner feels fundamentally different from exploring and sketching with a pencilThat's the whole point, retard. You can hide behind sketchy lines, erasing and building up value, with a fine liner you're working with nothing but line. >>7726791>I used to use fine liners but that shit aint cheapThey're like $3, I take it you don't have a job. Also it can be to your benefit that you think that way. When I go on a diet I usually buy a more expensive snack, if I ever find myself wanting to binge, my poor mind takes over and stretches the food for all it's worth. You may make your lines count if it costs money.
>>7726836>waitdon't wait up, uncomfortable is currently comfy taking a nice relaxing bath in his jacuzzi--something you can't afford.
>>7726844Imagine being so fat and stupid that you need to develop such an idiotic and convoluted way of controlling what you eat>When I go on a diet I usually buy a more expensive snack, if I ever find myself wanting to binge, my poor mind takes over and stretches the food for all it's worthCringe, don't give advice ever again lardass
>>7726862He told *you* to wait, ESL.
>>7726925>le eslkun insultyawn
i think you guys might be retarded
>>7727118Might? You're on /ic/
>>7727135im close to being a permabeg and even I know this course is helpful for most people
>>7727159And that's why you're a permabeg.
>>7727159Most people here don't even draw so who cares
>>7727168it has helped OTHERS. not me. i improve at a really slow rate>>7727190I guess you're right, this place is mostly /v/ and /co/ shitposters
Can I do drawabox in Photoshop? I can control myself to not erase or undo but idk if there is something special about paper here
>>7727399No
>>7727399No anon. It must be on papers only, with a fineliner. Nothing else, no buts. Why? Well Irshad-sama says so, you will understand in the future. Or realized it's bullshit and you just do whatever you find that works for you. Just go and draw them in Photoshop.
>student has more soul than any of the /ic/ coomslopdrawabox is based, fuck the crabs
>>7728139Aight then that's good to hear, I only care about digital. I think they want traditional only because it's easier for them to critique en masse without suspecting the students to have cheated, but I don't care about their critiques
Irshad Karim (the Drawabox guy) is only an int? Holy fucking shit. So all that box drawing only gets you to int level?
>>7718425Uhhhhh good question
>>7728139>Why? Well Irshad-sama says so, you will understand in the futurethere's an entire article written on his reasoning behind the recommendation to only use pen and paper, it's really your own damn fault if you choose to be willfully ignorant and pretend like it's an arbitrary decision.>>7728308read the article instead of assuming what you think they mean. if you're unable to expend even a token effort for understanding the course, i sincerely doubt your cognitive ability is such that you'll ever become a compelling artist.
>>7728432>intyeah, about that...
>>7718421>brown asianThe last person I'll listen to about anything
>>7718579Practice, start by drawing something like towergirls that you don't have much control over. Or play exqusite corpse with your friends (I hope you have friends). Any type of freeform play with pressure should do it.
>>7728645Holy fucking SHIT. Anyone who does this guy's exercises is a fucking retard.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>7728645mogs half of /dad/
>>7728908Oh come on. That should not be anyone's standard.
>>7728909We need teachers like him to cull potential stars. It's a doogy dog world out here.
This is all LITERALLY peter hans dynamic sketching lmao how is this shitskin not sued yet?
>>7728459You're better off just following Peter Hans dynamic sketching. I doubt that DAB creator know of this article you speak of when he made his training regime.
>>7728645Looks like your average tumblr artist. Eh, you know what they say. Those who can't do, teach.
>>7729125but he can't teach either
>>7718421This guy is an absolute hero, gatekeeping imbeciles from ever getting good. Truly the crab king, I kneel and thank him for his service
>>7729140That's the point
>>7727399i'm of the opinion that if you're going to do digital art, then learn art digitally, the only good reason not to is an amatuer artist who can't even draw a line blaming their tools for their art being shit instead of themselves.
To all the people shitting on this guy (no pun intended), what alternative do you suggest? drawabox is pretty decent
>>7729643What's the pun? Ohhhh, the skin, the skin. Yeah, that whole thing is wild. It's to protect him from the sun, right?
>>7729643if the goal of draw a box is to start thinking in 3d and be able to draw a cube and cylinder then i'd say an actual book on drawing in perspective that'll just teach you all the tricks. Marshall Vandruff's old perspective course from the 90s is on billibilli and it's basically the same stuff>here's how you solve this problem in perspective, this is why vanishing points are what they are, do this thousands of times and you'll be able to do it by intuition.
>>7728645constructoids permanently BTFO
>>7729808https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1dW82zEEZS/and supplement it by getting literally any perspective book, they all cover the same exact shit because perspective only has a few rules to follow.i don't think it's necessary for you to be able to learn how to freehand a cube before you can start drawing what you want, no one would call and artist a fraud because he used a ruler and perspective grid to block things out.
>>7729643Ctrl+paint is a nice alternative
>>7729948how would you describe him, physically? like in terms of ethnic background etc
>>7729643gdi I just realized this is supposed to be a triple pun (shit art, shitting streets, and skin tone). very rude and tasteless, but I had to admit that triple puns are clever
i think about suicide more often than i should
>>7728645His course is free and his own art doesn't change the fact that it's helpful lmaoif you're a beginner you're losing nothing by trying lesson 1
>>7718421>I feel like I have no creativity at all. Maybe I'm just depressed...I can relate but I don't think I'm depressed. Even after years of drawing and improving I am not an ideafag so I do nothing with this skill aside from more studies that only I get to see.
