Drawabox 250 Box Challenge: Uncomfortable Critiques my Homework!

All my Drawabox content is cut from my video streams on twitch ( / scyllastew )
After months of work, pen reviews, interruptions and tears, I've finally finished the box challenge! Now for my critique with Uncomfortable, the creator of Drawabox. He talks about common issues students have along with some insight into the purpose of the box challenge.
We also briefly discuss the Drawabox pen and my favorite of the nearly 20 I tested during this challenge.
If you've finished off the whole lesson's homework, following through this video and comparing the comments to your own work should help you spot issues you may want to work on in the future.

very fitting how the creator of drawabox plays minecraft haha

[@ScyllaStew]

I mean... it's boxes. Kind of his whole deal.

This video is very interesting and helpful. It contains a lot of practical, constructive and clear suggestions on how to proceed, to what to pay attention and what to avoid. Compared with some other drawbox videolessons there is no rush here, no speed up recordings, there is no just philosophical deviations. It's just calm and quiet conversation about multiple concrete ways and methods to make a progress and to get better in this challenging task of drawing a box. And that was exactly what was badly needed Thank you for that video.

[@touf48]

is it any surprise that he wanted to play minecraft? i mean the game is literally made out of nothing but boxes.

[@ScyllaStew]

It is very on brand for him.

[@drawinginprogress5439]

what he doesn't say enough is that you will do those errors. you know they are, you think about it while drawing and you still will do them. I was like: pfff who do he think we are!! and then... mistakes upon mistakes...

[@DarkMage501]

I had to take a couple days break because of how frustrated I was getting. It really is quite humbling knowing you cannot draw a box for the life of you lol

[@tabs4917]

All of the points addressed here have been incredibly helpful, thank you

[@ScyllaStew]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ChipWhitehouse]

Thank you for this! EXTREMELY helpful!

[@FionaLovesbunnies]

seeing your hands covered in jewelry makes me think of you as one of those dragons with penchants for shiny things

[@ScyllaStew]

Maybe I am a dragon...

[@YogendraAgarwalIndian]

This gives me hope, hope is received I can finally go and draw my 21th box

[@art_noodle1]

Oh my god, i been doing these wrong all this time! Thank you for uploading this

[@ScyllaStew]

Happy to help!

[@kikolektrique1737]

Does doing them wrong means we gotta redo them. Cause for me I didn’t converge all my lines but rather some but in a certain direction. Like that of one or two point perspective but not three and I’m realizing that now after re-reading the lesson for the 250 box challenge but I’ve only have 60 more boxes left to draw and correct my mistake. Is this going to be an issue?

[@MissMokate]

boy do I feel like I should redo the 90 boxes I'd already drawn.

[@zachmerrill7232]

that back corner has been the worst part. This challenge was so hard lol

[@johngddr5288]

Now were talking. Engineering Units. Tolerance of 6% angle difference

[@didi1406]

The nails. The jewelry. I love.

[@ScyllaStew]

Thank you!

[@ChipWhitehouse]

Yes Sirotterman... 19:39 the chat will be included in the video 🤣 Been reading it throughout the entire video

[@verast]

I'm listening to this while i'm drawing box 219.. maybe I can still improve from the feedbacks on my last boxes...

[@ScyllaStew]

This one might help too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6XIhoOaeK2hatU Good luck!

[@chrisjiang9074]

[@headecas]

[@theeternalgus9119]

Useful video. Thanks! 196 more boxes to go for me =]

[@ScyllaStew]

Glad to help!

[@zachmerrill7232]

I wish I found this video like 5 days ago haha

[@ryanclemons1]

I got a question i know you may not remember but how did you deal with the unseen parts of the boxes lines AKA the lines you had to make to draw through since they move around do to the Necker illusion? I have been trying to learn to draw for the past 2 years and to this day the Necker issue has been my biggest foe my "Dragon to slay" it's so hard to draw boxes namly drawing through them when the back and front switch every 1 or 2 seconds.

[@radjax2574]

Provide an image to your problem. Draw A Box probably didn't cover it in his curriculum. My current guess on your problem is you are drawing too close to the center point which is the point where the horizon line and the vertical line intersect. If you are drawing in one point then you are drawing very close to your vanishing point.

[@chrisjiang9074]

uncomfortable has the right idea of going back to play minecraft haha

[@Haleymrn]

I'm starting tomorrow! :))

You got this!

I'm done with the 250 challenge and wanted to create a vlog about it

Go for it! Let me know when you do, leave me a link here and I'll be sure to give it a look!

@@ScyllaStew it's not well made video but I already published it on my channel 😅

[@Haleymrn]

How long did it take for you? What is your time range in each day doing the boxes?

[@pranshje2703]

@@Haleymrn I draw 4-5 pages of 6 boxes per page a day

[@abunchofemos-kn4sm]

does this helo with drawing them any angke

[@shahvirat1990]

Oh, she definitely used a ruler for those lines. Even if you ghost a million times, you can't possibly get ALL those lines for ALL those boxes straight like she did... I'm so impressed, I almost think it's fake.

[@Muhammad-Jacobs699]

He talks a lot about the "Y" lines but I see no love for "Z" and "O". The way I see it: *Y* = 3-point perspective, *Z* = 2-point pp, *O* which is more like *ㅁ* is for 1-point pp.
