    Lines: Nice and confident keep up with the good work!

    Elipses: Nice and confident as well but elipses only must be drawn through ellipses 2 to 3 times, (2 times preferably) unlike the elipses that you drew which are very thick.

    Boxes: On your rotated boxes, corners between boxes must be kept close, but everything else is good.

    Do the ghosted plane exercise as practice and warmup, also the elipses should be drawn through 2 to 3 times.

    These are good enough to mark as complete, good luck on 250 boxes!

    Lines: Nice, smooth and confident, though it may arc but those could be fixed by arcing in the opposite direction.

    Elipses: Kind of wobbly and messy, I think you are worried about the accuracy of the elipses, a trick to that is to ghost slowly to make sure your brain knows what elipse to draw, then when executing, do it swiftly, dont think about executing it, just execute it, nice, fast and confident

    Boxes: The lines on the boxes are a tad wobbly but for everything else its good.

    I recommend you do elipses in planes exersise as warmup.

    Im marking this lesson complete, good luck on 250 boxes!

    Next Steps:

    do 250 boxes.

    Lines: Your super imposed lines have fraying on both ends. The line should never fray on the starting dot. The student should place the pen carefully at the beginning of each line so this does not happen, The lines on the ghosted lines and ghosted planes arc a little, this might be because you are not using your shoulder enough, but if you are using your shoulder enough, i suggest arcing at the opposite direction

    Elipses: I noticed that the elipses are very wobbly, i think this is because you are prioritizing accuracy over confidence, causing unconfident and rough elipses, also you forgot your funnel excersize.

    Boxes: On the rotated boxes, some boxes are not rotating. On plotted perspective, the width lines should be parallel to the horizon line and the height lines should be perpendicular to horizon, here the lines also arc and wobble.

    A huge problem that i am seeing in your work is that you are not that confident in drawing your lines and elipses. Yout lines arc and wobble a lot and your elipses are incredibly wobbly.

    I recommend for the lines and eclipses is that when you ghost them, do it slowly, make sure your brain is warmed up to make the mark, and when you think you are ready, you execute it swiftly and dont think that much about your execution, even if the execution is not that accurate, dont worry, its fine as long as the line or elipse is confident. The goal of this part of the course is to improve your confidence in making marks, as long as you practice on confidence, accuracy and speed will come.

    I am going to request revisions of all the exercises, since they all suffer from a lack of confidence.

    Next Steps:

    Repeat all the exercises in lesson one. Remember, confidence over accuracy.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    In your lines, they are arcing and wobbling quite subtly, and your elipses look quite unconfident and lack roundness , your elipses in planes look less like elipses and more like diamonds, for your boxes, the width lines sometimes point to the horizon rather than being parallel to it. For your rotated boxes,some of the corner boxes are not tilted like corner boxes.

    I recommend for the lines and eclipses is that when you ghost them, do it slowly, make sure your brain is warmed up to make the mark, and when you think you are ready, you execute it swiftly and dont think that much about your execution, even if the execution is not that accurate, dont worry, its fine as long as the line or elipse is confident. The goal of this part of the course is to improve your confidence in making marks, as long as you practice on confidence, accuracy and speed will come.

    For boxes though, make the points that make the box straight.

    Ill ask you to do revisions of the lines and elipses exercises if thats fine with you

    Next Steps:

    Do all of the line and elipses exercizes with confidence!

    Remember, dont let your brain get in the way of markmaking! when executing, dont think about the execution, just do the execution.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Lines - No problem here, lines are very confident most of the time, but it will get better with practice

    Elipses - Confident as well but i noticed that in your Elipses in planes exercise, you make the elipses slanted instead of upright and in your funnels and table exercise,it looks a bit wobbly so i suggest ghosting it slowly, like taking your time on planning on how you are going to make a big elipse and then drawing it in one shot, dont worry if it doesnt look perfect, all that matters is that you drew it confidently, speed and accuracy will come in time with practice.

    Boxes- The lines here are wobbly for some reason, dont know what happened there, but like in the elipses, you should take your time ghosting!

    You should do a page or two of ghosted and elipsed planes as a warmup in order to increase milage and improve your confidence, speed and accuracy

    Im going to mark this lesson as complete, good luck on 250 boxes!

    Next Steps:

    -do a page or two of ghosted and elipsed planes as a warmup

    -take time on ghosting your elipses and lines but when executing it, make it swift. Accuracy and speed will improve in time and practice

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.
