Post with 41 views. 250 boxes challenge

Hello again! It's time to get dirty.

Where do I begin? First of all, it took me a whooping month to finish.

I got everything. Accuracy float, wild superimposing, extreme arching, wobble.. but mostly too quickly converging or too much diverging lines. I ghosted million times for VPs, imagined them, traced them, checked them a good number of times. For the life of me, I got decent only once or twice!

Boxes are hard. But I learned a lot, It made me plan things beforehand. Less relience on approximation, more on given visual info. Analyzed a lot, changed the approach several times throughout the challenge.

I still have trouble with finding VPs! But it's a long road to master this. Now I know my weaknesses, I even snapped once, but the community helped me to recuperate.

Though I feel it does not represent the best of my ability, I put a great effort to discipline myself.

It made me stronger and better! I honestly didn't have much expectations from myself, but I managed to do it, every single day moving towards the goal. I gained a fair bit of experience and artistic muscle to perform more confident and embrace my mistakes.

Thanks DAB for the given opportunity to test myself! I got a lot of feedback from great members of this community!

Cheers!

It looks like you're doing a great job of drawing your lines concisely, accurately and confidently. You're also showing that your ability to estimate the convergences of your lines is improving over the whole challenge, and that you're always thinking about how each line is supposed to meet with the others in its set at a specific point. Really, really well done.

Wow, thank you so much for your honest review!

It took a lot of effort for sure and it teached me a great chunk of 3d-thinking being just boxes with set rules! I lay great emphasis on being consistent with my exercises, so improvement is sinking in way faster in my everyday creativity.

Cheers!

im so sorry T_T

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.
