Lesson Incomplete

2:24 AM, Thursday June 2nd 2022

Heyo ever since ive started taking Drawabox seriously ive realized that i messed up with lesson 1 (at the time i didnt do the lessons in fineliners and also skipped Lesson 0) at the current moment im currently on lesson 3 and while ive read over lesson 1 and done the exercises numerous times and submitted work for the 250 boxes and Lesson 2 im still alittle worried that there may be some valuable critiques that i may be missing forever because i didnt do Lesson 1 correctly

Do you still have the work you did for Lesson 1? I would submit that for critique so you can get the feedback you are missing.

possibly although i did them in pencil at the time due to not knowing about the fineliner rule however I do have some warmups I could send into the community critique with stuff the Rotated Boxes exercises being redone since i haven't done that in a while

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.
