Drawabox

Drawabox is awesome, but first two exercises are very boring, but extremely useful. Also, you get feedback on your work. I highly recommend going to it and doing the exercises.

Best resource I've found for a beginner. I learned more and progressed more in a month of lesson 1 than three months trying and failing to copy other people's lineart. The exercises are like lifting weights - keep at it and you'll get better no matter what.

Depens if it's your cup of tea. I tried it and I got stuck on form intersection and I stopped doing them.

It took me a month to finish lesson one but throughout that month I've seen myself grow. I can now draw straight lines and decent circles. Just remember art is a never ending journey and with each bad drawing you learn more than you do with a successfull drawing. Keep drawing and never be afraid to try new things.

Draw a box is a set of lessons to improve your fundamentals (line drawing) and make you aware of perspective and how objects are constructed.It's a great ressource for this. It might not fit your style, but there are other tutorials out there that are similar in approach, but different in execution (I am sorry, I can't think of one off the top of my head).

Drawabox was a sort of revelation in my drawing journey. I realized the first hurdle wasnt to teach myself to draw things, but to learn how to properly teach myself how to draw.Learning the fundamentals of drawing shot my confidence through the roof and opened up my artistic world. This may be common sense to some, but as a beginner with zero experience in drawing or art classes, it helped incredibly.

I completed everything but the composition lesson and I think it was a great place to start learning drawing! It teaches a lot of important mechanical skills and things like perspective and intentionality. I still do different exercises as warm up a lot of the time and think learning to draw in ink was an important place to start.That said, after finishing, it was kind of intimidating where to go from there. I've done a lot of different things, from videos to textbooks and there is a huge amount of things to learn about the art of drawing itself that isn't really touched on that much in the pure construction lessons. I still very much value to the skills I picked up but feel like I didn't truly start to understand how to draw effectively in the way I wanted until I'd done a lot more exploring of different styles and teaching methods.

Drawabox is boring, sure, but it's really worth it. The problem with it is that you don't see any results in your drawing until you've actually completed it. What it directly improves, though, is your understanding of 3d space, which is really hard to get without these exercises. You can do it, but it's going to take long. In your case, the understanding of 3d space is crucial if you want to study anatomy. Though it won't be a breeze, you can understand how muscles work much better if you understand it as a 3d form, not as a flat drawing.

Drawabox is awesome, and it's free! There are a bunch of resources, in the form of lessons. The lessons start at fundamentals and progressively and intuitively work there way through to more advanced stuff. It never gets too advanced, but that's not what the site is about. It's an incredible resource and I'm amazed how one guy could do all that - and for free.
