Ah, that makes sense. In which case good luck on the rest of the lessons :)
Next Steps:
Carry on with lesson 2
i hope you dont mind me not re doing the rotated boxes, its just like i said i dont feel id gain anything from it and it was stressfull, i really do appreaciate your kindness and critical review ive taken note :)
You are welcome.
You should however be doing rotated boxes occasionally as part of your warm up. It doesn't have to be the whole thing, just a corner or two. And I've found that you will gain much more by doing the things you are bad at. Rotated boxes is meant to be very hard, everyone struggles with it. I know mine are terrible.
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.
