250 box challenge, bit confused on simple subject.

11:25 PM, Tuesday May 19th 2020

I am just getting started on the 250 box challenge, and I feel like I have kind of a dumb question. Its mentioned to shade in a side and I'm a bit confused if there is a method to which side..or is it just establishing the direction you are look at it from and it doesn't matter so much. I don't know if I missed something along the way or just over thinking it. Any help is very much appreciated, thank you!

So given that the box is made up of 6 faces, three of which point towards the viewer and three of which point away. You pick one of the three that point towards the viewer and fill it in with hatching. Doesn't matter which of the three.

Uncomfortable said it all. This 3 faces that points towards the viewer i choose the larger one not wider or taller but larger one.

I actually wondered about this myself but did not ask ( the only dumb question is the one you don't ask, right?! ). So thanks for bringing it up. And thanks for the clarification Uncomfortable & Lookleft.

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.
