Just to give another perspective, Drawabox does seem to be good but it is exceptionally hard work and at times needs an awful lot of discipline as some of the exercises can require some real willpower to get through - although it is all with good reason to lay some very strong foundations. However, I could see how somebody who is just looking at if they want to get into art could be put off by it - I was in the same place as you a few years back and it did put me off. I would suggest perhaps looking at the CTRL+Paint website and follow his drawing fundamentals series of videos... if you get hooked you can always then come back to Drawabox to knock out any bad habits.

That's certainly fair! I'd describe the Drawabox exercises as... maybe not hard, but not exciting? I mean, it's pretty much "do these things => get better." They're not difficult, but there's a bunch of them and some are more interesting than others. Maybe one might describe it as "hard like dieting" vs "hard like math." :) I'd say DrawABox is good for someone who's decided they want to make a solid go at learning to draw, rather than someone who's just testing the waters. I could definitely see the latter being put off by it!
