You cannot submit any digital drawings for offical critiques as far as I know. It has to be done on paper with a fineliner. If you are worried about cost just pick up a ream of copy paper or printer paper which works great for all of these lessons and is preferable to sketchbooks or fancy paper and should only cost a few dollars.
No worries. Can I continue on to lesson 2 after I've finished. Even if I don't submit the 250 boxes for official critique? Or is it counted as a lesson?
The 250 box challenge is a mandatory prerequisite for lesson 2, and you are required to complete it prior to moving on.
No worries then. Thanks for letting me know!
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.
