In their own words

Drawabox

Drawabox is a web-based course teaching core drawing fundamentals through structured lessons, exercises and homework. It is aimed at beginners and learners who want a regimented study route. Practice focuses on controlling the arm to make marks, constructing forms that appear three-dimensional and understanding 3D space. These skills can apply to subjects such as people, but the course does not specifically teach how to draw those subjects. The maker recommends beginning with Lesson 0. Guided projects and progress tracking provide a defined path through the material. Community feedback is available but not guaranteed. Patreon supporters can receive guaranteed critiques from the creator and teaching assistants. Discord offers more real-time engagement and a place for lesson questions. For subreddit homework, the maker asks learners to submit complete work; partial work can be shared in Discord lesson channels. The Free lessons plan costs nothing and provides the drawing lessons. Drawabox lists [email protected] for account-related questions. The course is available through the web, with no other platform listed.
