    Hi Paddle !

    First, well done with your homeworks, overall it's great ! Your arrows's lines are fluid, your organics forms are consistent (just a little deviation of your ellipses sometimes but it's totally normal to not do it perfectly each time.) Your intersections are great, i got nothing to say about that, it seem that you got it at the end.

    What i could say is :

    -to pay attention to the chicken scratchs, you got tendencies to do it especially in your dissections & textures analysis. (That's regrettable because your dissections was very convincing this apart)

    -to not simplify too much your texture in the process of creation of your gradient. (Look the forms of your rocks given by their cast shadows in your analysis, then the form of your rocks in your gradient)

    Next Steps:

    If you want to, you should retry one page of dissections confidently. Then after that, do one page of gradient with more explicit textures instead of rumpled paper and ice cream, like bark and a wall of bricks per exemple

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Hi !

    First of all, sorry for the delay of answer, i had informatic troubles for a couple time until now ! Then, thank you for your time and your review, it is very constructive.

    I'd used a felt-liner pen at 0.5mm, not in very good health, i'd trouble to use it and dose my strength in the beginning... And still a bit actually. I think it's an amalgam of three, bad camera, artificials lights & bad utilisation of the felt-liner.

    No question, sir ! Thank for your encouragement !

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
