The waiting time for critic

8:13 PM, Sunday May 15th 2022

I submitted the 250 box challenge homework about two weeks ago...

And I don't get the critic yet...

How much someone can wait for a non-official critic before having to redo some exercises due to the time waiting?

Ready for answers and critics

Thank you in advance

For the non-official route critique is not always guaranteed, Since they often rely on the generosity of the community, However in the official Drawabox discord https://discord.gg/tHNrTs4REQ There's a critique exchange program, Which would at least guaranteed critique, (Wait time is roughly quite fast for earlier lesson / challenge , And a bit longer for later lesson)

(I think it would be a good idea to do lesson 1 and boxes challenge as a warm-up too, To make sure you're sharpening stuff you've learned)

Hope this would be somewhat helpful!

Hello,

Coming back from the ongoing waiting...

Thanks for the suggestions!

Yeah, you're right, then I think I will try to critic until sunday as much lessons 1 as I can to see if my post would show up for a critic and then, if nothing happens, try with Discord.

I will definitely bring back the warm-ups.

I completely forgot about Discord so thanks again for the suggestions :)

Solicit for a critique on the Discord group. Wait for a critique. You don't necessarily have to wait for the lesson to be marked complete.

Also use this time to fill in the 50% rule. Look around you and break down objects into boxes and just draw the boxes. Or attempt to draw what you would want to draw after you finish the course. May be save those papers even and compare the drawings you did now with something you drew after you are completely done with the course.

You can even try starting another course alongside. Figure drawing, Perspective, Digital drawing. Anything you enjoy. Have fun :))

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestions, as I said to Doctormein I completely forgot about Discord.

Someday, somehow the improvements will certainly be seen so the comparing thing is also a good suggestion.

Thanks again, have fun you too :)

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
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.
