Hi Bodaciouss,
I've checked your submission,
Before starting the actual review, I wanna recommend you to not move on to other lessons if you haven't got any feedback. During the lesson we learn a lot, but we also make a lot of mistakes, so that is why we have someone else check our stuff and tell us in what we have to improve. You would think that you want to get better faster by moving into other lessons without waiting, the truth is, that you get better faster if you have people to give you feedback on what you did wrong, you can fix that and improve! So, be patient, do some reviews in the meantime between lesson and lesson, you really learn a lot by teaching others. Don't try to rush learning.
Now, on the actual review!
I can kind of see that your convergence get's better as you progress through the challenge, though you didn't continue the convergence lines in a lot of your boxes, remember that that was the way for you to get feedback on how you are doing with your boxes, and also for me to give you feedback on that.
It looks like you struggled a little with the back corner, welcome to the club. This will help you whit that, try to apply it while you are doing some boxes for warm up.
I see that sme of your boxes are not looking very confident, remember to take your time applying the ghosting method since confident in your lines come from you repeating the motion until you feel ready.
I'm gonna mark this challenge as completed! keep it up.
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 2.
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.
