i tried drawabox but my motivation problem kicked in and i've practiced about 20 minutes in total over the past 5 years. and also drawabox has really disgusting ugly artwork all over it which makes me conflicted about whether i should use it
In my experience, learning to draw accurate lines has more to do with finding a comfortable hand technique than brute repetition. You don't always have to use your entire arm to draw--I like to hold the pencil with my thumb and index and produce an arc with the finger. The faster you can develop your technique, the more mileage you can get out of learning theory (perspective, anatomy, etc.)

Drawabox exercises can help you warm up, but drawing 200 boxes a day will not teach you perspective. You're better off reading something like Perspective Made Easy by Norling and learning the logic of how perspective lines work.

The one thing holding me back is actually painting anything. I've never had good color sense but I'm going to grind that as much as i can this year. Appreciate the encouragement :yuh:

to me doing the solid black clean outline over the sketch is the best part because it's kinda brainless but makes everything look 100x better

Line art bottlenecks me. I'm at that stage where my sketches look decent because your mind compensates for the looseness, but my lines are pretty rigid, and it takes me several hours of drawing and re-drawing everything.

not finishing btw, it was supposed to be a cute angel reminding you to smile but there's a little too much feet going on :oops:
