Hello again!

Super sorry it took me so long to respond, I got logged out of my account and didn't notice so I did not get the notification. My bad. Anyway....

Great job! Seriously! The biggest issue with your boxes before was that the back lines would veer off drastically. Immediately, on your first few pages of boxes, the relationships between the lines improve greatly, and are wayyyy more accurate. It goes from an issue that was in almost every box to something that only appears occasionally.

You might be frustrated that it is still not perfect, but I can see that you are starting to really understand it. If you would like, you can always practice a few boxes as a warm up before other exercises. Eventually you will get the lines to almost always be spot-on.

On top of that, your hatching and line thickness is super clean. You can claim your bonus points here if you decide you want them after all ;)

Next Steps:

Great job and move on to lesson 2 if you have not done so already!

Thank you so much and no worries, happened to me also. There's not so much distinction between being logged in and not. Also since this is not official critique it wasn't blocking me at all, I simply moved on to the next lesson, so no harm done :)

Thanks again for all the pointers and taking your time to do the critique

Cheers!

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.
