Uncomfortable's Unsolicited Advice: A Box a Day Keeps the Demon Away

http://drawabox.com/comic/2I made another comic strip! This time it's about the importance of continuing to practice the exercises from lessons 1 and 2 regularly, and the idea that you're never *done* practicing your most basic technical skills. When I mark a lesson as complete, all it means is that you understand the goal and purpose of the exercises, not that you've come close to mas...

Painting Process: Sacrifice

I recorded an illustration I painted recently - it was an unplanned thing, so it involves a lot of floundering to sort out compositional challenges and establish narrative. I also included a fair bit of commentary on my thoughts and a few tricks of the trade that I use frequently.

Drawabox Demo Dump

You can find the dump of 30 demos I've done as part of different students' homework critiques right here:http://imgur.com/gallery/udZZ8I posted this largely because free critiques are closed through June (reopening in July), so people would have a few more resources to work with. That said, for all of you folks (that is, those who either supported me in May, or pledged in June) are still w...

Uncomfortable's Unsolicited Advice: Drawing Lines that aren't shitty

http://drawabox.com/comic/1So, as a thinly veiled marketing attempt, I decided that once in a while I'd like to create short, instructional comic strips about the simpler, but more common issues I see plaguing beginners. I figure comics tend to garner a lot of clicks, and they spread pretty easily, and they tend to communicate concepts fairly successfully so long as they're not overly comp...

Rotating Boxes in Perspective

Unfortunately Patreon's post system won't allow me to include links with in-page targets. You'll have to scroll all the way down to the "Rotated Boxes" section, or you can copy this url into your browser:http://drawabox.com/lesson/1/selfcritique#boxes-rotationvpsA lot of people are struggling with this. Though I've never actually learned a specific approach on how to deal w...

Lesson 1 in Spanish!

http://drawabox.com/lesson/1/lesson/es Finally got around to formatting and posting the Spanish translation of lesson 1. If it generates interest and traffic, I'll look into getting more translated, and perhaps into other languages as well.

How to Approach Drawing Texture

I only had six critiques to do tonight, and now it's 11PM and I've only done two. Why? Because I got distracted and ended up going from doing a demo to writing up this thing on how to approach drawing texture - something a lot of you have been asking about.Now, mind you it's called the "Texture Challenge" at the moment, but it isn't actually one. I've been meaning to cr...
