So these are improved but you're only extending 2 sets of lines instead of all 3.
It's important that we extend all 3 or we don't get nearly as much information.
Overall these are improved enough that if you extend all 3 in your warm ups I think you'll continue to become more consistent so I'll be marking your submission complete.
Keep practicing boxes and previous exercises as warm ups and good luck in lesson 2.
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 2.
Hi Tofu,
Thanks again for more feedback. I think I understand when you talk about extending all three sets of lines, but could you give me an example?
Thanks
Dom
Thanks Tofu. Yes, I thought you meant downwards, just as I marked them in my original submission. What I couldn't get was that when I extended the lines downwards, the lines seemed to remain parallel more often than the other two sets with less convergence or divergence. I looked through your guide after the 250 boxes but I think I still need to practise a lot more before I really get to grips with what is going on in terms of the effects of foreshortening on lines, and how the different lines relate to one another and how one set of lines impacts on another set of lines.
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.
