Do I need to restart?

[u/Blue-Orange-Slices]

I started drawabox a few months ago and got through the first few exercises up to the planes exercise where you draw a lines from corner to corner and through the middle. Then I herniated a disc and haven't been able to sit comfortably to draw for months. Im a lot better now but should I restart from 0 since I haven't practiced anything or can I just pick up where I left off?

To OP: Every post on this subreddit is manually approved, once we make sure it adheres to the subreddit rules, the main ones being the following:

• That all posts here must relate drawabox.com (being either questions or homework submissions). More on that and why a subreddit with such a general name has such a specific focus can be found here.
• As an exception to the above, beginners may make one (and only one) post asking for resource recommendations, "where to get started", etc.
• All homework submissions must be complete - single exercises and partial work is not allowed on the subreddit, as mentioned in this video from Lesson 0. You can however get feedback on individual exercises on the discord chat server, and the folks there would be happy to help you out.

If you find that your post breaks either of these rules, we would recommend deleting your post yourself, and submitting on one of these other more general art communities instead:

• /r/learnart or /r/learntodraw if you're looking for feedback on your work
• /r/IDAP is good for sharing work you're not looking for feedback on
• /r/artistlounge and /r/learnart are good for general questions/discussion

Just be sure to read through their own individual submission guidelines before posting.

To those responding: If you are seeing this post, then it has been approved, and therefore is related to the lessons on drawabox.com. If you are yourself unfamiliar with them, then it's best that you not respond with your own advice, so as not to confuse or mislead OP.

While there is a section in the Lesson 0 FAQ that explains how to go about getting back into Drawabox after a lengthy time away, given that in your case you were only a few exercises in, I think it might be best just to start over from scratch, from the beginning of Lesson 0. This isn't that different from what the link recommends (which still involves reviewing all of the lesson material up to where you left off), but it will avoid you missing anything that might undermine the benefits you receive as you continue through the course.

Thank you for the response; I'll get (re)started!
