Trying to figure out if I'm gettign what lesson 2 with textures is being shown here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/368871002584907776/959903705501696010/Practice_87.png
You seem to be understanding that you're supposed to be filling in cast shadows, but I think you're being too selective with how dark your cast shadows need to be for you to fill them in.
To clarify, none of the cast shadows on the paper seem to be describable with a single black line, yet there are several instances on your paper in which you do that. It seems as though you're describing the start or stop edges of the shadow, but you need to actually fill in the shadow form, which you do with a couple of your fully black shapes.
Try to really think about what is casting the shadow, and then describe that thing that's casting the shadow by outlining the shadow and then filling it in.
It's ok if you don't fully understand it, I certainly didn't when I first did the texture analysis.
It's fine, I'm sure it will be better explained when I turn this in and probably will not fully get it as this is far too advanced atm and really should be covered later imo.
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.
