Hi there! I definitely feel like my understanding of cast shadows improved remarkably by the time I got to the last few analyses that I planned out. That said, I'm no master, and I'm always willing to do more work if it means improving that understanding, so don't hold back! And as always, thanks for taking the time to look at these.
Hello, I have not reached this lesson yet, I just want to know if you have done this on paper or using some form of tablet? (the picture quality is great)
Hiya! All my work is done on paper, and I have a dedicated scanner that I use to digitize it all. It's a portable scanner by brother if memory serves, but I can check for you later after I'm done with errands if you're looking for a recommendation.
Oh I see and no, you're good, I'm not looking for a scanner right now. I was curious if doing the exercises on a tablet would be equally opportunistic in terms of the strokes, fine grain control on mark making and ergonomics. The reason being, most of what I do is programming on computers and handling physical papers is tough for me in many ways. But I have a 10" x 6" drawing tablet on which I could easily perform the exercises except it's not recomended, referring to lesson 0 part 5. But fair enough, keep up the good work!
Ah I see. As I understand it, one can still learn through DAB via tablet, but has its own unique challenges. But it's not impossible! I think one of your biggest challenges will be being reminded that it's not recommended every time you get reviewed or critiqued. That will happen a lot, but if it works best for you, then it's the best for the work. So that's my unsolicited input, and I wish you good luck in your venture!
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.
