Finally started the drawabox 100 chests challenge today. Rules of the challenge are to draw 25 chest-like shapes (basically, cylinders on top of the box), 25 open chests, and top it off with 50 detailed chests that have textures and ornaments on them. There are no restrictions on tools that you can use.
I choose to do the challenge in digital, since my ultimate goal is to be able to draw digitally. However, I decided to simulate felt pen drawing as much as possible. I did all chests free hand without ever using eraser or undo function. This resulted in extremely messy construction work and horrible lines. Thus I decided to make construction lines lighter and go over the chests again, to make the thing easier to look at and digests.
Here's the result. I did 20 chests, and I plan to do 20 everyday from no on, so the whole challenge should take 5 days total.

Drawing straight lines and ellipses on a tablet ended up being extremely hard, and it's very frustrating when the line just doesn't come out right. I don't have a cintiq, just good old intuos, so there is definitely a period of getting used to drawing on it. I'm way better at it than when I first brought it, but definitely not nearly at the level of confidence I have with the paper. However, I do plan to grind this stuff until I improve.
