So it appears you submitted these revisions as a new submission, when they should have been sent in as a reply to my original feedback. I've gone in and cancelled the new submission, and will finish up here.

Fortunately, it will be brief! Because you've absolutely knocked it out of the park. I'm honestly really impressed at just how much better these revisions are than your initial attempts, but not only is your approach here more precise and solid, but it's also vastly cleaner and shows a far greater focus on what it is you're trying to do at any given moment (rather than getting a cluttered mind trying to tackle a million things all at once).

Now there is certainly room to further increase your precision here, as you are still working with a lot of eyeballing/approximation. So for example, as shown here on one of your orthographic plan, in a minute or two I've identified quite a few landmarks whose specific positioning was not defined. Of course, for some of these you'll have decided on what the specific subdivision would be for some of them when actually doing the 3D construction (though others you no doubt still eyeballed), what we want to strive for is making as many of the decisions as we can upfront.

Anyway! That aside, you're doing great and have shown a great deal of improvement. So, I'm happy to mark this lesson, and the course with it, as complete. Congratulations!

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Thanks so much! I cannot tell you how excited I am that I finally completed DAB. Your feedback has been so helpful. I did work too quickly on the previous cars (like you said), and I definitely took my time and used a ruler for EVERY part of the additional 2 cars, and it made a world of difference.

I usually paint and make photography, and just urban sketch for fun and I took this course to help with my drawing. I've really enjoyed taking your course and I think about many of the lessons I've learned when I draw for fun. I know I'll come back to this website for refreshers. Again, thanks so much!

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.
