Nice work Dom! So you're running into a pretty common issue of not actually rotating your boxes but instead just drawing them moving back in perspective. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating This is a great exercise to come back to after a few lessons to see how much your spatial thinking ability has improved. I'm going to mark this lesson as complete and you can move on to the 250 box challenge. Good luck!

Next Steps:

The 250 Box Challenge

Thanks Rob, for all your feedback so far. It makes sense, now you've said it, about moving the boxes back rather than rotating them. I hope I can correct that further down the line. I'll do the 250 boxes and move on to lesson 2. Thanks again.

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.
