Unfortunate Delays, and a short pause on lesson 2-7 critiques
🕑 Added 2019-12-27 22:56:14 +0000 UTCHey folks. As many of you know, the last several months have been spent developing a community platform for the Drawabox website that would move all homework submissions (both free and for private/official critiques) onto the website itself, with proper integration with patreon to simplify a lot of the process that over the last many years has largely been done in a somewhat haphazard fashion through Reddit.
This was intended to be released on New Years Day (being on the first of the month is relevant to the patreon integration and the transition being as painless as possible).
I've put a great deal of effort - working through the holiday season and all - to keep on track with this, but unfortunately I received a call earlier today that requires everything be put on hold. My grandfather has passed away, and as I have to fly out immediately to be there for my family, I will not be able to get the last pieces together by my January 1st deadline. I will be pushing the community platform release back to February 1st.
I know many of you have been waiting patiently for this considerable update, and there are some of you who have delayed your own projects to properly coincide with some of the lesson updates I was planning on releasing alongside it all. For all of that, I apologize.
While I am out of town - both for the funeral and to help out as much as I can - I will be, for the first time in five and a half years, be closing homework submissions for lessons 2 and above for about two weeks. They will reopen on January 10th 2020.
Lesson 1 and Box Challenge submissions will still be accepted as they are handled by my teaching assistants - they may be a little more delayed than usual.

Shucks, take all the time you need man. Drawing is a skill that takes patience to build anyways, so we're willing to wait. Thanks for all the help so far.
