Your lines look more straight and consistent now!
I think with this you can now start moving forward to the 250 box challenge.
Please don't stop doing warmups for past exercises so you can archive better results on ghosted lines, specially.
Keep going, you have lots of potential! Happy drawing:)
Next Steps:
Move to 250 boxes challenge.
Do 15-20 minutes warmups of past exercises before doing the boxes
Somehow the folder is locked so I've just requested its access.
Sorry for the late response, I was a bit busy.
If doing large ghosting lines is being difficult try to a warmup of 10-15 minutes before doing the next exercise and then tackle it.
Start with putting two dots apart of each other and try the ghosting line.
I'd also suggest you rewatch and redo the Rough Perspective just for you so you can absorb its information better and improve the foreshortening that you are generating.
Next Steps:
Do 10-15 minutes warmups of large ghosting lines before an exercises session.
Try to rewatch and redo the Rough Perspective exercise so you can understand it better.
Thank you so much, I'll try to do my best!
There are some odd deviations on the Rough Perspective exercises that could be improved, but I think you did well in the other exercises, considering it's your first time doing any drawing stuff!
I'll let other person to decide if you can keep going or not.
In my opinion, depends.
If what you listen is something kind of lofi/chill style just so the exterior noise doesn't bother you, I think it's fine.
I know this because sometimes in the square I live, people can be extremely noisy and annoying, so that helps me.
However, the moment you feel you are starting to get way to much submerged within the song, you'll lose a lot of focus way before you even notice it and it will hurt you in the long run, or at least in lessons taught here.
I use to listen to my favorite genre (DnB), and since it's a super energetic and frenetic genre for me, it was giving me too much boost on motivation to the point where I was getting too distracted on the song and I was not absorbing any new knowledge because I wasn't focusing on improving, I was just drawing by impulse because I was feeling the song, you know what I'm saying? And I was also being pretty dependent on it.
As a beginner, this lessons feel like they have to be put special focus so you can absorb them well.
So I'd aim for a balance between something that makes you feel good and comfortable while working, but also not making you distracted, which in my case was too hard so what I did was reducing the amount of music I listen while drawing until I didn't need it.
Try different things until you find something that fits your case and needs. Happy drawing!
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.
