Your lines are a bit improved here but yeah really try not going over multiple lines at this point even if you feel like your initial line is wrong. You are better off going with one line that is slightly off than adding another line that just confuses and clutters the image even more. Your rough perspective boxes could still use plenty of practice. Some good things to think about when drawing boxes in one point perspective like that is that all horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon line. You are getting a lot of slanting here and that is something you really should be thinking about when plotting your points. The same thing with your vertical lines. They should be straight up and down while drawing one point perspective boxes like this.

Keep up with your line practice in your warmups. I'm going to mark this as complete. Good luck with the box challenge.

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Thank you for your critique and guidance! I'll continue on being wary of my plotted points as I enter into the 250 Box Challenge. Enjoy the remainder of your week!

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.
