Thank you. Even though I tried not to I was definitely trying for accuracy in a lot of the exercises and it did make me a little hesitant. I will try to work on that and I guess it's something that will improve with practice.

I do have a question about rotating the boxes, though, since if I'm not mistaken I think that's a part of the 250 box challenge. Do you have any advice or tips to help with the rotations.

It's a skill that develops organically throughout the course of the challenge (closer to the end of it, than the start, so don't stress if it takes a second - it's an advanced thing). For now, all I'll recommend is being mindful of the angle between each line of your initial y-shape, and varying them, and doing the same with the lengths of each arm of the y. Paying attention to how those changes end up changing the overall box is a good start towards understanding rotation as a whole.

Thank you I'll try

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
