25 Wheel Challenge
6:53 PM, Monday December 4th 2023
Thank you in advance for any feedback!
Hello tygerson! These are looking pretty good, Only thing I can see is that on wheels such as 24 or 25 you are doing the texture of the wheel outlining forms, whenever drawing texture on drawabox we want to only draw cast shadows, so keep that in mind whenever you try drawing texture again on these exercises. Example here
Other than that you're understanding well how to use the degrees (Even if you cant vary them much because of the ellipse degree restrictions) and the forms are looking pretty solid. So I think you're ready for lesson 7! Good luck!
Next Steps:
Lesson 7
Thanks so much! Yes, I agree that my texture/cast shadow thing needs work!
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.
