    Thank you for spending time on my work for critique. I will try my best to rectify the mistakes I made in the further lessons.

    Well I'm not going for official critiques. So I guess I should continue without stopping with the fountain pen as you said because I already waited for two weeks after finishing 250 boxes challenge for the lockdown to lift off but it seems like it won't for a while that's the main reason i decided to use fountain pen and I didn't got ball point pen either. And thank you so much for responding.

    Funnel rework. I did my best. Still this seems bad for me, if you say so I will rework it again.

    And is there some other thing that I should improve before moving on?

    Thank you for spending time on my work and pointing out my mistakes. You were right I strugged on the funnel exercise and will practice it simultaneously while completing 250 boxes challenge before starting next lesson. In rotated boxes i did cross hatching because I'm afraid of drawing over the same lines what if it may go wrong and make it look like a thread. I should get rid of this fear for imperfection, I guess.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
