Hey guys, I´ve posted the homework of lines and ellipses before but here´s now everything once more in 1 Album. English is not my native language, so I struggle a little with the instructions. I hope I did everything right, as described.

I´m looking forward to your reviews and wish you all a nice week.

Hope to hear from you soon, warm greetings

Hello Anna! I'll be reviewing your homework today.

First of all, congrats on finishing all the exercises!

Lines

Your lines are great, no wobbling, no fraying or arching, they are planned and confident. I noticed in the organic perspective there's a bit of repetition of the lines, which is something to avoid.

Ellipses

You did a good job on the ellipses too, they are drawn through, inside their boundaries and smooth. On the funnels exercise the ellipses are aligned with the axis, so well done!

Boxes

What i said about the lines also apply here. You drawn through the boxes, on the rough perspective exercise the width lines are parallel to the horizon and the height lines are perpendicular, as it should be and the lines were corrected. Your rotated boxes exercise is really good, i think it must be the hardest one of this lesson but you managed to get it right. On the organic perspective exercise some boxes are a bit distorted, but you'll improve with the 250 boxes challenge.

Overall your homework is really good! Even with the language barrier i think you understood the concepts really well.

I hope this was somewhat useful and you're ready for the 250 boxes challenge!

Next Steps:

You're ready for the 250 boxes challenge!

Hello Supers0nick,

thank you for reviewing my homework. I´m very happy to hear that I did a good job. :D

Your review gives me a huge confidence boost.

I was a little bit unsure about the organic perspective exercise (it was the hardest) but I´m glad that it wasn`t as bad as I thought .

Thanks again, your review is really helpful for me.

Greetings,

Anna

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.
