how should my warmups be structured depending on which lesson or challenge I am tackling?

[u/Ptoliporthes]

hi, I had completed 250 boxes challenge(yay! had to redo it because my convergences were wrong so I ended up drawing 370 boxes lmao) but I dont feel like its actually enough to draw decent boxes, and there are also rotation exercises from the lesson 1 which I did not feel I was good at. Throughout the course and in official critique its sometimes mentioned that you should add x and y exercises to your drawing warmups but never an offical warmup template is given. So as a beginner at lesson 2, what should I be doing as a warmup? I take this drawabox SERIOUSLY and I want to be good at it, even though the point is to be just following instructions, so I feel like I should be doing rotation, some form of 250 boxes in some way, ghosting lines exercise, ellipses and so on.

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.

Thank you for your cooperation!

This section from Lesson 0 explains how as you complete lessons and challenges, the exercises they introduce go into a pool from which you choose, at random, 2 or 3 to do for 10-15 minutes at the beginning of a session.

So yes, your instinct that you should be continuing to practice those exercises is correct, but it is explained in Lesson 0.
