    Hello WEIJAK,

    Thank you for the feedback. This feedback was very helpful, and I've gone back to work on the elements listed in your feedback.

    I've also added the link with the two images focused more on the construction of the plant forms. Let me know if I should focus on anything else. I don't think I quite have the plant forms down, but I will continue to work on that in warm-ups and such.

    Thanks again for the feedback.

    Hello Weijak,

    Thank you for the feedback. I will definitely incorporate the construction method you have linked whenever I do my warm ups when drawing freehand boxes. Hopefully one day, I will master the back corner. lol.

    I will definitely keep in mind the other points you have listed in your helpful critique. : )

    Thank you again for your time and advice,

    Hello Jekettex,

    Thank you for the feedback. I will definitely keep in mind the line confidence and the usage of texture. Also I will make sure to fill in the shadows to not make unnecessary noise. : )

    Thank you again for your feedback, Jekettex. It was very informative and helpful. : )

    Thank you again,

    Thank you for the continued feedback, SCOOBYCLUB.

    I completed the rotated box exercise and linked it above. I felt this second time through wasn't as rough as the first time. And the daily warm ups using the lessons I've learned so far gave me a little bit more confidence when drawing these lines.

    Thank you again for the advice and feedback so far.

    Thank you for the critique, SCOOBYCLUB.

    I wasn't certain how to to resubmit the superimposed lines and ghosted planes. So I made a new imgur gallery of the work I have done and linked it above. I haven't gotten a chance to draw the rotated boxes exercise again, but I will try to complete it soon for feedback.

    I've gone ahead and incorporated a daily warm up before I draw to help practice the topics and lessons Lesson 1 had taught. While also keeping in mind, the advice about not grinding needlessly: https://drawabox.com/lesson/0/4/grinding

    I know it will take time and practice to improve, and I will keep in mind what I have learned so far as well as your helpful critique here. Draw from the shoulder, from point to point. : )

    I will post the rotated boxes again here or wherever I need to post it. Hopefully after the rotated boxes, I can start the long journey of drawing boxes.

    Thank you again for your time and help. : )

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.
