Okay. I did it. But believing my own lie really was a big thing. I feel like even after the 250 Box Challenge my Boxes aren't where they should be and i made a lot of obvious mistakes. Surely even more i don't know about. I'd love to fix them.
I feel like my biggest weakness is applying Lineweight.
Thanks in advance for looking at this.
Hello,
here's critique:
Arrows: OK, though lines where you went over to indicate line weight are kinda sketchy, in future just ghost a bit before applying them
Contour forms: then ones with ellipses look OK, for the ones with curves it looks like they do not change in degree much
Textures: OK
Intersections: your boxes hidden corner is misplaces in a lot of boxes, cylinders are kinda bad too (the side farther away should always has a wider degree ellipse, also they are kinda flattened). Though this one is tough.
Organic intersections: OK, some shadows are wrong though, shadow should fallow the form they fall on - so they should change direction and become more flat when they hit the floor
I suggest spending some time to practice area I mentioned before moving on to the next lesson.
Good luck in your art journey!

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.
