I have finished lesson 5 and i'm almost done with the 250 cylinder challenge, but i haven't requested feedback for any of the lessons i have finished.
I know i should have done this earlier, as other people could have pointed out mistakes that i didn't see. So, the question is: should i start over from the beginning with community feedback, or should i just continue from where i am and start requesting feedback?
It gets progressively harder to catch mistakes from previous lessons concepts.
I would start submitting homework from Lesson 1, do any revisions, if requested, and once you have been through all the reviews for every Lesson you have done, then move forward from where you are right now. Seems like a good compromise to me.
Good luck!
Thank you for the reply!
Your suggestion sounds like a good idea
In my opinion (I'm still "new" and on lesson 2, so wait for more people to chime in for this one), requesting feedback is probably the better idea.
When getting critique from someone, they can request revisions of certain exercises. So there isn't really any reason to completely start over if you've done a lot of things correctly.
Just to add to what other people said, if you won't go for official critique you can check the #critique-exchange channel on the discord for community critiques, that way you can guarantee you can get critiques by helping other people. I agree with the opinions of asking feedback from the start as well!
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.
