Good job completing another lesson!

To me to be honest, it looked like you were rushing:

  1. Organic shapes--the cross contours are too straight in the middle. Try to visualize it wrapping around a round 3-d shape. Also you neglected to vary the degree as they go along the shape based on the perspective. You should go back and reread the directions and practice that one again at least as a warm up. It's really important.

  2. Mostly you only did one construction per page--it's not specified but if you're filling up pages it's better to do more. The more you practice the more you will get out of it.

Personally, I think you should go back and do more constructions, but technically you did the page count so I'm going to mark this as complete.

Next Steps:

Either go back and work more on this or proceed to the next lesson. Up to you.

Dear WAXWERK,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review this.

I will take in consideration all that you told me, I will practice the Organic Shapes as warm up and I will also make a few more constructions, maybe try to paint themso I can be excited about that. I do not like insects so looking at them made me sick, this did not helped :)).

Thank you again!

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.
