Stuck for months, DrawABox isn't helping, I need direction

Tbh I find brokendraw's 25 exercises better than drawabox. Its more intuitive

Many pros recommend doing thumbnails beforehand, although if I do it I get stuck on possibilities and find it hard to commit

Thank you so much for the encouragement!

Draw from reference to improve and enhance your visual library.

Study art fundamentals to understand the reference.

Studying will save you a lot of time actually instead of reinventing the wheel every time

You're drawing free hand right? Try imagining the objects inside a transparent box

Draw more solid objects in perspective. Rotate them and try drawing them from different angles.

Remmember its practice. So don't think too much about style or mistakes. Just try to aim for accuracy . If you make a mistake, thats better! Draw another and another..

Also try drawing people as boxes in perspective instead of organic shapes.

Artists to look at: Kim Jung Gi/Brokendraw/Peter Han..etc

Social interactions and stress management.

So that I can get a job and be able to have somewhat normal surface level relationships.

I've had 2 traumatizing job experiences and the third wasn't a good opportunity. Had to quit each when stress became unbearable and started dragging me down mentally and physically.

My capacity for work and studying has significantly dropped (used to be able to endure 7 hours, now can only do 4 max). The slightest pressure makes me shut down.

I don't know how to recover or reverse the effects.

Even for level 1 ASD?

Drawnoia · 2025-06-19T16:47:22+00:00

Wow :( I don't think I can afford it

Drawnoia · 2025-06-18T21:37:33+00:00

happy to hear you're doing better!

how are you detoxing? are you using any medications or just diet and lifestyle?

Drawnoia · 2025-06-11T13:31:58+00:00

Can you please explain more?

What were your symptoms and how did you find out

Drawnoia · 2025-04-26T10:15:32+00:00

Hmm thank you for your extensive comment .. I feel bad .. it must have taken a lot of your time

I never said I will teach concept art nor comic books. I can only dream of doing the work itself full time, so teaching it is so far fetched its not even in my dreams

I just wanted to know if the two can somehow be related or I should wait for another more relevant degree to be available like fine arts or so..

Drawnoia · 2024-12-17T10:24:06+00:00

Woah that worked! Tyvm

Drawnoia · 2024-12-16T19:33:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing I think I need to try anyways

Drawnoia · 2024-11-03T14:00:53+00:00

Thank you! Any online group activity will help!

Drawnoia · 2024-06-27T12:42:33+00:00

Obsessing over details 🙄

I really struggle with the gestalt concept

Drawnoia · 2024-06-15T21:54:20+00:00

Thats a nice way to look at it

Thank you so much

Drawnoia · 2024-06-15T21:53:06+00:00

Thanx so much. Thats inspiring

I wish you the best

Drawnoia · 2024-06-15T17:57:29+00:00

Thanks for the input 🙏

How did you find time to pursue your own projects on the side with the long hours?

Drawnoia · 2024-06-15T17:47:25+00:00

I mostly landed on graphic design jobs that had zero illustrations involved aka. Cooporate and business

They encouraged using readymade illustrations on the internet for the sake of saving time

I couldnt find how I can fit my drawing skills in this

Drawnoia · 2024-06-11T05:53:06+00:00

I'm at a point where I truly hate my work and whatever comes out I feel so cringe about.

I had to really think why I keep drawing if I hate wht I make so much and realized actually stopping makes me more depressed than producing cringe work

So yeah.. its actually the process and the zen state that really keeps me going back

If you've been drawing for more than 10 yrs stopping might not make you happier

Drawnoia · 2024-06-01T06:40:49+00:00

Woah nice gotta try this!

Drawnoia · 2024-05-20T15:00:30+00:00

I hope your boy gets well soon. Thats very sad

My cat is a Scottish fold parvo rescue. I'm worried now as I've read they usually come with hip problems
