Great job! you have great line quality and your boxes are nice and shallow, with quite strong convergences, however I wanna note two things -

  • I'm not really seeing any more dramatic convergence of boxes (and while shallow is far more important, its good to practice these occasionally, aswell - in future warmups?)

  • While you are rotating on a few axis, I'm not seeing any more dramatic rotations, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/678635364293935141/710409815968448542/35_degree_less.jpg take a look at this pic, looking especially at the second last outer ring of boxes, these show more dramatic rotations, and in future warmups I'd like you try something like these out (mind that you shouldn't copy these, just seeing them as a way to plot out your Y differently, to get more difficult to draw boxes, which will be more fruitful for your experience)

In summary, try more dramatic rotations of boxes, and occasionally some more dramatic convergence in your future warmups. Overall though, you did an absolutely great job in these, so keep it up!

Thank you for this critique, I have been waiting for another user to agree with your critique in order to turn in lesson 2 for review. How long does this usually take?

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.
