Hi Weijak,

I checked you homework and for start i will say Well done.

Your lines are looking confident and you are keeping them straight. With time when you will be practicing you will remove this little wobbles which you getting in moment where you care about accuracy ( read in rought perspective for example). I will recommend as well to practice more superimposed Lines to make them keep more closer each other.

I like you ellipses and circles, especially ellipses. You are keeping nice shape of them and in exercise with funnels you managed to make them at this same angle. With circles if you will be practi

With exercise Rotated boxes you get a point of this work.

I will mark this Lesson as a complete. Keep doing this exercises as a warm up and be ready for Box challenge

Next Steps:

Go for 250 box Challenge

Keep doing them as a warm up, with constant practice you will see your improvement.

You can mix this exercises. For example make ghosting plane where you will superimpose lines.

Have fun with it and your creativity with warm ups

Great job, it looks like all of the exercises were done correctly, the cool thing about the exercises is they provide feedback themselves, so you can see where you were off, so there's no point in someone else telling you! Watch out on the last exercise you did, the organic perspective one. You had the "top" of the box getting smaller in some instances. Were you using three point perspective for those or two? They were supposed to be three.

First, i really apreciate you taking some time reviewing my homework. I totally agree with you about the exercises, i learned as much before i finished each one as i was reading through them at the first time.

Regarding the organic perspective, you are right i messed those up, in mix of mindless automatization of the exercise (which is my bad) and because it was easier (also my bad) i made the bigger ones in that way without really thinking about them.

Also, again, thanks for reviewing my stuff and tell me if i should make something extra or redo any exercise, Or if i just go on with the 250 box challenge.

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.
