draw a box is gay as hell, if you want some good courses go look up Vilppu

really though what the other poster is getting at is you should just approach the kind of subject matters you feel passionate about now, as best as you can in the same way a five year old approaches drawing dragons or godzilla: they don't measure proportionality of the vanishing point no they pick up the crayon and get going. and like their work your output will suck as well cuz youre both beginners, but drat if there isn't something charming in both.

really youve got to approach drawing like a child because else youre setting yourself up for all work no play fundamentals which can be important but imo not at the beginning of a drawer's journey. and btw if you do not want to advance your own ability like crazy forget a course, take a real life desk lamp and box and shift them around in different poses for live drawing. and that means drawing exactly what youre seeing, not what you think youre seeing (you look at the subject matter, glance down to paper, forget how a certain angle is indeed angled but instead of checking again and indeed carefully looking you draw what your mind best thinks the angle should come out as).

do all this while you grind out some Vilppu bucks (because he really is the man) and eventually you may reach a point where you can attend live model drawing sessions, another way to improve vastly superior to the enormously homoerotic drawabox (pejorative)

Thanks all for the answers. I’m kinda terrified of failure so I was really worried that, as someone starting with no drawing skill at all at 34, unless I followed a correct growth of fundamentals path I’d never get any better no matter how much I tried

just imagine how good you'll be at 44
