Hi HOLYSNACKS,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review my 250 box challange! I really appreacite all your notes and great feed back.
Thank you!
Sorry for not marking it complete, and thank you for directing me to Elodin's critique guides for Lesson 1 and the 250 Box Challenge. I read the guide and will review it again before I make any other reviews.
Thank you.
Looks to me like you nailed every lesson. Great job! The only think i can really comment on is I had trouble with the rotated boxes as well. I think yours turned out better than mine but the advice I got I can pass on to you.
I was told that the first boxes a bit too far which caused you to not have a lot of room left for rotation when you got to the boxes along the outer edge. A lot the small sized of the boxes can make this exercise more difficult.
Hope that makes sense or helps.
Great job!
I hope this helps -

I think the key is to stick with it and practice practice practice. Enjoy it. In the military there was a saying, " Embrace the suck." Also every box you draw is a better box then the one before because you learned something from it.
Hope my crappy attempt to motivate helped a little.
JORDANASZA, thank you for the great advice. I am on box number 30 right now, and your advice is already helping. Thank you!
Thank you for the great critique SCYLLASTEW The Relentless!
Way to put in the work with the Superimposed Lines! You did alot more than I did. The only kinda suggestion I might have is on your Rough Perspective the box lines are a bit wobbly. I noticed when i was doing the exersizes if I started to for get to rotate my paper my lines would go wobbly. I hope that helps. Other than that awesome job! Your Rotated Boxes exercise is epic!
Awesome work! The only thing I can see is an issue i had the same thing with. On the Ellipses in Planes it looks like you slowed down to make the circles fit better. I guess it jsut takes practice. Aweomse job tho. Your Rotated Boxes is awesome.
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.
