Hey Bay!

Great work on lesson 1. I also just finished up lesson 1 so I'm right there with you.

I want to start with saying your lines in your first handful of assignments look nice, sharp, and confident.

With your linework in a relatively nice place, I think we can look at your perspective a bit.

Next Steps:

I noticed in your Rotated Boxes assignment, that the boxes don't have a lot of depth. This probably made it a bit harder to get the most out of this assignment. Consider doing an extra quadrant of this exercise to really flex those perspective skills!

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.
