First of all, great work!

I can defintely see the improvement in these arrows and I believe that you are understanding the concept very well now. I do see that some of the sides of the arrows are overshooting a bit, but it's good to see that you are using the ghosting method for them. Overall, great job

And with more practice, you could go back and try the first method again as shown in the lessons. The one that I showed you in my replies maps out the sides first so that the bottom and top lines are essentially parallel. You can still achieve this by mapping out the top and then the bottom lines first like in the lesson. I was just trying to show an approach I saw from someone else that made simpler to understand.

Once again, good job on your work. I will mark this as complete!

Next Steps:

Move on to Lesson 3

Thank you so much for taking the time to grade my homework! I wouldve responded sooner, but I didn't realize you yourself had responded. That "see more of the conversation" link is extremely missable lol. Again, thanks for the grading and the help

I'm glad I could help. Good luck on future lessons :)

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.
