No professional artist has recommended drawabox ever. It’s purely a /beg/ meme

>>7948541
Doesn't michael Hampton?

>>7948666
hampton is also a beg trap

>>7948539
how else can i learn to draw a box though

>>7948728
If you understand 1 and 2 point perspective and can open blender you'll make infinitely more progress than if you went through drawabox

>>7948729
blender hard

>>7948740
All you need to do is rotate the camera angle and copy the box at different angles anon
You don't even need blender, any program or site that lets you freely rotate a cube will work if you just consistently practice
You also won't be forced to listen to an Indian the whole time

>>7948745
it hard

>>7948842
nasty bitch, make it soft right now I swear to fucking god.

If you aren't actively using your brain to see how what you're spamming connects to the bigger picture it won't help you that much. That being said, boring and repetitive is literally the nature of most curriculums when trying to ingrain the fundamentals into their students but you have a teacher there to guide you on correct technique and do the thinking for you about how it all connects into the bigger picture. There are much better ways to learn construction and form but it has some merit if you aren't a complete retard and have someone else actively critiquing and guiding you, which the owner used to do for people. Now not anymore.

Pyw, but I don't necessarily disagree with your take. Hogarth mogs all masters in terms of anatomy. Loomis, overrated. Bridgman, overrated. Most of the anatomy work that they teach coming from most of the popular masters are nothing but stiff scribbles.

>>7948912
Um, you could still do a critique from the owner if you paid enough though.

>>7948917
I remember when they did this but it was basically a fuck you price so that he wouldn't have to do shit anymore. At its peak he was doing something like 300 critiques a month for free, for months on end. It wasn't sustainable, it's why they created their subreddit for people to crit each other. The real monetization/greediness came when they partnered with NMA which is such a fucking scam lmfao

If you have problem with drawing boxes and other simple forms how can you draw everything else that can be simplified to boxes and cylinders? If you can draw simple forms, manipulate and combine them in space you can draw everything. Repetitive? Boring? Are you a child? I'm pretty sure this is 18+ website for bid dogs and not agooo booo boo fun XD kindergarten. Why are you keks even trying to trashtalk hompton-dono? You're not in "the student surpassed the teacher" position after all. If you were able to freely construct figure like him you would able to make it dynamic as you want because construction is a foundation and not an endgoal. His goal is to teach you solid construction with his own style (which you don't need to follow when you finished study), not to teach you real animation n shiet.
If you were able to draw boxes you wouldn't find them "boring" cause you would draw them on autopilot without thinking. But when you can't draw you need to think and thinking is not fun, so your brain screams STOP. It's not "boring", but too hard for (You). You're trying to run away with "boring" as cope. Like a Shinji from Evangelion. You know this deep inside. Just watch Evangelion and stop making excuses.
No I will not pyw. Think about it logically. Watch Jeff Watts mastery series.

>>7948941
I agreed until the end. Just who do you think Drawabox is for? Lmao. It's a beginner's course. People who do it will struggle, what are you even on about brother?

Draw a box promises me gains if i just grind. I just want to believe in something, if it lied then oh well. Just another betrayal in my life.

Finally someone sees the cold hard truth on this board.

To add to this, you need 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to really master a subject. Take note of the "deliberate" part. You have to really try hard. It won't be fun and it will be exhausting, but that means you're really learning.

If you draw 2 boxes a minute, which is very fast mind you, beginners would start a lot slower, you'll need reach mastery at 1.2 million boxes.

I'll leave you with this: If you were 1.2 million boxes away from success, how many would you draw today?

>>7948941
Nice work, yours?

>>7949889
LMFAO. I wish there was an artist's linkedin cause this is the kind of shit you'd see on there. I'd be laughing my ass off.

>what is 50/50

>>7953197
Yes, it looks silly doesn't it? All those boxes seem like way too much right?

But, if you draw boxes FIFTY percent of the time you spend drawing and you draw a couple of hours a day you can easily recreate this in a week.

>>7948941
Not wanting to spend hours on drawabox does not mean you have trouble drawing boxes. Therefore the entire premise of your post is wrong.

>>7948539
I'll agree if you are completely new you shouldn't touch this even by chance as said you going to burn out and start hate drawing.

>>7948539
The problem is that people who want to learn to draw are failing at the very first step - inspiration.
People who are good at drawing aren't good at drawing just because they simply wanted to be good at drawing, they are good at drawing because they had ideas they wanted to put to the page because they were inspired. And by drawing their ideas they got wanted to get better at drawing the stuff they like and had fun doing it.
If you ever end up doing rote bullshit like drawabox you missed the point. Same with loomis heads or random generic anime heads.

>>7956032
Probably true. Most of my jumps in improvement are from going all in on a drawing I am passionated about. Almost as if all practice is useless but I still think it's necessary at least as a warmup.

>>7956032
Everytime I try to draw something I want to draw it doesn't look like anything recognizable (except like the background I guess because that's easy so long as it's not nature and you use perspective)
No, I can't show you because I delete everything I draw out of hatred.

>this stops people from drawing
i remember time around 13 years ago when i did boughted some pencils and paper and tried to draw a cube, failed at that simple task and stopped even trying
since then i wasted 10 years being utterly demotivated. fuck cubes fuck boxes and boxfags fuck you lol

This. Extremely tedious for how little it teaches.

>>7957166
I didn't see no boxes or cylinders
