Thank you! That was so helpful. I've worked through the additional demos and think I'm getting the adding forms thing down a little bit better. Texture is more of a struggle but I'll prioritize it in the next lesson.
While I'm assuming you mean you'll put more attention towards texture in the next lesson, and not that you'll prioritize it, I did want to stress just in case that the focus of these lessons will always be on construction. But anyway, I would recommend reviewing these notes which provide some useful reminders to keep in mind in regards to how to deal with texture in the context of this course.
Yup, that is what I meant! It took a while but I just finished Lesson 5, really tried to limit the use of texture and focus more on the construction. Thanks!
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.
