Making Boxes Fun - Draw Together Live!

Get our awesome guide to life drawing learning and mindset: community.love...
Lets practise our drawing skills together live.
Drawing with boxes sounds a bit boring to us, but we are going to have a lot of fun in this live session! It's a really powerful exercise because a box is the simplest representation of 3 dimensions, so seeing things that way really trains your eye and brain to process figures, animals and other objects in terms of 3D space.
This isn't going to be a hardcore construction session with complex perspective grids and the like, instead we are going to be sketching a variety of things and finding boxes in them. This will in term help us with our intuitive perspective skills.
See you there!

Thanks so much for doing these helpful videos. I can rarely catch them live but I guess that’s alright as I still learn a great deal from them. Am a couple weeks behind but will do them as I can. Thanks so much again for your work on these!

Great Rolf, really pleased to hear that you found them useful!

Hey thanks for the live, I'm enjoying this grind part of drawing, I'm doing some boxes everyday for 3 months now and I have seeing a lot of improvement on my perspective drawing. I recommend this exercise for everyone (:

[@lovelifedrawing]

Great to hear, thanks for watching! Best of luck for your practise!

I am seeing the recorded video and the sound of thevoice is very low. I completed the 250 box challenge from Drawabox so I can draw boxes but when it comes to breaking down contours into boxes- I kind of lose sight of it :(

[@paul-minotto]

Great videos but the volume could be a bit higher.

You box analysis of the snake is a work of art in itself! It really shows the imagined underlying form simplified.

It's great to be learning with you Kenzo. You know what we need to do and are also newish at boxes, so puzzling the same momentary stumbling points and solving them. Really helpful.
