Anyway I'm off, cya Amit!

But yeah, part of the appeal of boxes is that they are simple. They can be tricky at first, but once you get the rules down it's not so hard.

Well it's not just boxes I'm doing, with textures I'm learning how to observe carefully an add to my visual library by studying ref.

Boxes are easy. There will be diminishing returns with that kind of exercise as you get better and better. But good job so far man, I like the attitude! Never hurts to hammer the fundamentals and if you enjoy it, totally do them as warmups etc

I mean, that sounds silly, right? "Hey man, I'm done with those reps, can I stop now? Why am I not ripped yet?"

I'm no more done with drawing sheets of boxes than I would be done with, say, push-ups in a fitness class.

06 Jul 10:31

Mechanizoid

I am! I've found that on my second run through Draw a Box, I feel like the homework I do to finish the assignment is like, only the beginning. I'm gonna keep practicing this shit over and over again just as warm-ups.

Nope, keep going

Gots to do MOAR form dissections. :D

Definitely got outside my comfort zone with those textures on the form dissections.

Should I be seeking another line of work? Or just commit hari-kari? XD

06 Jul 10:10

Mechanizoid

BTW got any thoughts on my update?

06 Jul 10:07

Looks like it, I'll put on my list. Thanks for the recommendation, Amit. :-)
