Submit the 150 you'd already done along with the 100 additional ones. As to your other question, for your warmups, at the beginning of each sitting you'll pick three exercises from the many you've encountered thus far to do for 10-15 minutes. This means that over time you'll be going through all of them, not just the same three each time. As you continue through the lessons, this collection of exercises will expand to include those encountered through the box challenge, lesson 2, etc.

Hi,,

I've finished the 100 additional ones, so I have the 250 boxes with me now, but apparently I can't request an official critique until 10 more days, although I thought this time limit is only between the lessons not the challenges. Anyway what should I do know :) is there a recommended new step or something?

Thanks,,

The 2 week restriction applies to all homework submissions - lessons and challenges. It is to keep students from completing work ahead of time and submitting it all at once, rapid-fire.

Assuming that you've completed the boxes to the best of your ability (doing a hundred in just a few days is quite quick - remember that if they're sloppy or if you've skipped any instructions then you may be asked to do more), what you do in that time is up to you. That said, don't forget the rule from lesson 0 which states that you should be spending at least half of your time drawing just for the sake of drawing, outside of any lessons or courses.

Thanks for your response.

Don't worry I have all the time to finish a hundred box in a few days since I quiet my job recently to dedicate my self to art 100%, and I'm welling to do what ever it takes to be better, they might be sloppy but hopefully I'm following the instructions right and it's only because I'm a complete beginner, and I'm trying to balance my time with other resources as well to learn basics and drawing in general.

Any way I'll wait for the next critique and focus on other areas and the warups :)

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

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.
