Hello,
good job completing lesson 1, here's some mistakes I have noticed:
On boxes exercies your lines got wobbly (prioritize straight lines over hitting dots)
there's some retries on some lines - try to work with what you got first time
funnels - some ellipses are not correctly aligned + center line is not really in center
plotted perspective - not sure why but you shaded wrong faces - you need to shade one of the faces facing the viewer (closer) not the back faces
rotated boxes - second "ring" of boxes is not rotated much - most boxes follow same vanishing points as first "ring" remember that foreshortening is not the same as rotation
Next steps: 250 boxes challenge (also don't forget warmups with small pieces of all encountered exercises so far)
Good luck in your art journey!
Next Steps:
250 boxes challenge
thank you for your reply it was very helpful i do agree my boxes are not the best and i am doing the 250 boxes challenge and continuing to lesson 2!
i wish good luck to your art journey as well!
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.
