Really good,

Don't try to redo your lines, just do it in one go. If you need to practice ghosting beforehand- do it so you can succeed in drawing the line you want in the first try :)

Also, don't forget to fill in the face of the box that is facing the viewer, so that it would be clearer how you drew your extended lines :)

Did you draw them all in one night?

If you did - I recommend you to not do it, grinding is really exhausting and you learn much more if you spread the work on several days or even weeks (I drew 25 boxes a day and learned a lot in each day).

I do think you can move onto the next lesson though :)

Good luck!

Next Steps:

You could try some of the additional exercises of the 250 boxes challenge-

Thank you for the advices, especially for the one about the ghosting lines.

No I haven't finished all the boxes in one night but last night I have made many (like 60) in order to finish the challenge and finally move on.

Thanks and good luck to you too!

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.
