    Thank you so much, Tofu. You were incredibly helpful and insightful, and all of your explanations were crystal clear. Much appreciated!

    Thanks so much for your advice!

    Thanks for pointing out that my convergences were very slight. I was afraid of making the boxes look distorted so I tended to make modestly converging boxes. For this thirty I pushed myself to make the vanishing points a lot closer for steeper boxes.

    I also tried really hard to go over the outside contour as smoothly as possible.

    Thank you for being so thorough and giving good areas to improve.

    I appreciate it :)

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.
