Can’t see anything... If you’d be so kind as to take a picture of each individual page, I’d much appreciate that.
I agree that the pages should be individual images. If you need help scanning the individual pages, I recommend using the free app called Adobe Scan. With it you can pretty quickly scan multiple pages into one pdf using just your smart phone. (From there, I use a website to convert the pdf to jpgs and then upload them to imgur.)
Please take pictures of your pages individually so I can see them properly and go ahead and upload them to a new imgur album and link it in a comment here, then I can critique your work :)
Next Steps:
Closer pictures please.
The orginal resaon why they were all bounched up were becase Imgur didn't want to cooperate, thought this time around it did and hope this give a better look
Thanks for the re-upload, and congrats on finishing the challenge.
Overall you do show nice improvement through the challenge, though theres a few key principles it looks like you missed.
You have a tendency to extend your lines in the wrong direction even in your later boxes. Your parallel lines should be moving away from the viewer and towards the convergence point. In other words as explained here your extension lines will move away from the starting y when you construct your box.
Your lines get cleaner throughout the challenge which is great, however you should only be reinforcing the lines on the inside of the box, the sillouhette, none of the inner lines. Keep in mind also, if you make a mistake you must stick with it, no redrawing it or "fixing it" just let it go as trying to correct it will only draw more attention to it.
The orientation of your boxes is relatively similar here's a sheet showing some alternate orientations, try making your starting Y more varried with some lines shorter and some longer and see what happens. You can also use this generator as a starting point for a bigger variety of boxes.
Hatching lines are a great way to show orientation, make sure to keep slow and steady when you use them and be just as attentive to cleanness as any other line.
One thing that might help your overall understanding of your boxes are these notes. Thinking of your lines as parallel instead os just converging can help, in addition this construction method is often helpful in keeping mistakes form adding up.
Next Steps:
While you've shown nice improvement theres still more I think you can get out of this challenge. Please draw 30 more boxes keeping in mind and trying to apply the stuff I've mentioned.
You've got this.
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.
