Mr. Tofu!

Thank you for reviewing my box challenge and letting me go through with the lessons!

As much as I wasn't thinking about your first remark I felt the second every step of the way.

For some reason I just couldn't figure out how to make that third line converge especially at a very distant

vanishing point. I either under or overshoot it. I got lucky few times but that never felt controlled.

I noticed on other reviews that there's always several approaches that work differently with everyone.

Do you have any additional (on top of the tutorial ones and demos from youtube) tips on making it click?

That being said if I figure it out by myself I'll note down my observations and share what worked for me.

You may find some insight from watching how ScyllaStew approaches her boxes, you can find her approach here.

Other than that ultimately remember that perfect boxes aren't the goal, this challenge is just meant to help improve your understanding of 3D space. While you can (and should) strive to improve your boxes don't get hung up on the results so much that you prevent yourself from moving forward.

Oh yeas I watched those :) I find those essential.

I understand your worry there. I do make myself move on with the tasks.

The reason I was asking is my mind works in formulas and when I understand

things better I do them better. I make analogies and look for dependances in everything.

When I find the right ones it just clicks in my head and it becomes effortless.

Perfect analogy here: is when Neo sees the Matrix :P

I find it mostly through practice but tips and tricks often speed up the process so I was curious if you knew any.

Thank you for responding and for your time. I really appreciate what you guys do :)

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
