Grinding is doing something over and over again until you feel satisfied by some arbitrary basis. When students who've made it a ways through decide to go back to the beginning, they still follow the assigned numbers of pages, so it doesn't fall under that category. The 250 box challenge itself is a repetitive exercise, but it has a clear finish line.

As to how much each lesson costs, you can see the prices by going to the submit page and selecting the different lessons with the "Submit for Official Critique" option toggled. That said, it's a pretty straightforward breakdown - Lessons 1 and as well as the box challenge, cylinder challenge and wheel challenges are all 1 credit each. Everything else (including the texture and treasure chest challenges, both of which are optional), are 2 credits each.

OK for the grinding, I understand.

OK for the cost, I've found it. If you don't mind, I may point out that this is not very readable...

Thank's again, everything is clear now! :-)

For the bit about the readability, can you elaborate? Do you mean the "COSTS 1 CREDIT" in the graphic itself?

Yes "COSTS 1 CREDIT" is not very readable, I had trouble finding the info even after you told me it was on this page. Perhaps you could put it outside of the illustration...

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.
