Is this a good course to learn drawing for starters who haven't drew a single decent picture before?
No, but I think, as a free resource, it's an OK second or third stop if you want a very regimented introduction to perspective and construction
Yeah it's a good course and actually free. But you have to imagine it as 1st step, the whole drawabox is the first step, 2nd step is some other drawing course or drawing book you'll follow.
>>7439300What should be the first stop then
>>7439295It's a /beg/ trap but also somewhat usefulDo the boxes challenge and a bit of the organic shapes, then drop it and pick up a figure drawing book
>>7439339What should I do first?
>>7439359Draw what you want to draw, even if it's shitty. Learning to draw is not a fun process, so you have to try and make it enjoyable wherever you can
>>7439385I dunno what I like to draw.
>>7439391Well then find something, or just quit right now. You need a goal, faggot
>>7439393....I like to draw birds. But my birds look like shit.Drawaline haven't taught me bird drawing yet so.....should I still draw fishes?
>>7439394NGMI
>>7439394>birdsBoy do I have the book for you
>>7439397Why? Ok, i got it, i am not supposed to blindly follow 1 tutorial and ignore my own interests....But the problem is I don't know the basics on drawing those stuff. Where can I learn it?
>>7439402Hello
>>7439310Most drawing basics courses should be fine as long as they align with your goals. For example drawing basics for someone interested in fine arts will be a little different from someone interested in cartooning or anime. If you don't know it's OK to draw a little bit of everything until you find something that's compelling. My problem with DaB is that it's based on dynamic sketching which is an intermediate level course and the creator of DaB tried to make it into an absolute beginner course which I just don't think it is.
>>7439541Fair
Not at all
>>7439541So the starter would be something like tutorials to learn to draw specific things?
>>7439394You can check out John Muir Laws on YouTube. He’s big on nature journaling.
>>7440215Yeah, he's a huge lifesaverHere's a bird I drew based on his instructions lmao.So I just kept on practicing and use bird pics as rest stops?
>>7440221Bird 2
>>7440221>>7440227Wholesome and inspired
>>7440227Your bird's neck is shit
>>7440268How to improve necks?
>>7440315Draw
>>7439295any course you dedicate yourself to and actually draw with will help you improve. drawabox just cribs from university courses, scott robertson and a few other books and calls it his own with the added box exercises. the practice exercises are good for boot camp style learning to ghost lines, ellipses, etc. if you do them for warmups daily and actively practice at them instead of just scribbling lines as fast as possible, youll get better through brute force effort. basic perspective, line weights, ghosting, ellipses, etc all help with fundamentals. boxes help with basic construction. i dont like the autistic focus on it, but you can look at beans or ovals or other construction used for human figure drawings and they are similar. his is using box and carving out the rest of the form from it. the thing you need to understand is you need to fucking draw. you need to practice fundamentals. you need to learn perspective. you need to expand your visual library and learn construction. you need to do all this daily and also do your own drawing of things you enjoy. if you can stick to the program, youll learn how to draw. if you do scott robertson book, youll learn to draw. if you grind loomis plates, youll learn to draw. IF YOU FUCKING DRAW YOULL LEARN TO DRAW JUST FUCKING DRAW
>>7440332There are some courses that teaches the wrong mindset, no?
Read the loomis books instead
>>7440403Kind of, but if you're taking anyone's word as law, you've already failed. Art is ultimately an exercise in thinking for yourself. Creativity is the ability to devise novel and useful solutions to problems, and that extends to the processes not just the ideas. Most of the learning comes from your own deductions, the courses just push you in the right direction.
>>7440461Fair
>>7440178Yeah, I guess it kind of depends on age. I still like books, but I've heard professionals who are way better than me say their main source of learning was just going into YouTube for tutorials whenever they got stuck on something, but there's also way more crap on the web now that clutters things up and makes useful material hard to find. If the tutorials are just "draw with me" without talking about specifics like line weight, shape and form they're probably not a knowledgeable teacher. They should be explain what they're doing and why.
>>7440487Is>>7440215 a good teacher?
>>7440488I dunno
>>7440504I dunno
>>7439295I'm about 4 hours into this course and I haven't learned a single thing yet
>>7440215NTA but this is a neat channel, ty for the suggestion
>>7439295How do you draw with your shoulder? Vertical lines are killing me, and all my lines in general seem to start with an ever so slight hook/curve
>>7441610Drawing with your shoulder is for huge canvases. On normal sized paper elbow and wrist are fine. Drawabox crabs you in their literal lesson 0 lmao
>>7441317If I took this course, I wouldn't learn a single thing. I would listen to what Irshad Karim has to say.And that's what no one did
>>7441637>>7441647Retard
>>7439295Before following anyone selling a course, you should always look at the actual art that they produce. This is his.
>>7439295>>7441762
>>7441765Peak
>>7441765Bastard-sama...
>>7441762>not too good it may just be a stroke of genius>not bad, kinda above average evenWhat's the problem? The best teachers often tends to be the nanami type instead of the gojo types
Bump
>>7442043I'm not saying it's good or bad. But he should see it regardless.
>>7442579Yeah, but like, Art is subjective, so
