Hello slyx! Just to add my part here, I think that overall your drawings are very solid and 3d, so good job! And your attempts at form intersections are also fantastic.

The main thing I wanted to comment on is that you tend to repeat your lines quite a bit, I recommend just drawing your lines once and not drawing over them even if they were off. Specially whenever you're gonna draw a curve choose to divide it in several straight lines and then draw over them with a curve. I'm saying this because I think overall your drawings get a bit stiff because of redoing the lines.

I do recommend using a ruler if you aren't using it for all drawings on lesson 7 if you aren't doing! At least for a few drawings, I think it'll help to get more out of the lessons if you do it.

But in general like I said, great job! I do think as well that you are ready for the wheel challenge, good luck and keep up the good work! Feel free to ask any questions if you have them as well!

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.
