@theprairiefox Congrats! Good job making it through.

@ErinCortese That looks a lot better! I think your lane lines are just a bit off on the second line from the front and each one behind it. It's not much, but that tiny bit makes the last lane look really crunched.

@Chip-Valecek I assume they would have told you. Your's really caught my attention this month, but that's also one of my favorite books. Thought you nailed it.

Very cool that you help them out. Thanks for doing it. Those slide shows are great. Always see a few that I missed in the threads.

Decided to redo these. Wanted to try that style with more detail, but I really prefer my thumbnails to be less specific. This fits me better:

Exercise 5

@Chip-Valecek If I were judging you would have won this month. That cover was amazing! I was honestly thinking maybe you weren't eligible because you start the threads and do the slide shows. It's as if art is subjective or something.

@theprairiefox You're welcome! I had a ton of fun doing it. Learned a lot too. Looks like you are making some good progress too.

@ShannonBiondi Thanks for sharing. The time you spent really shows. Great drawings! I've been wanting to experiment with scanning in traditional line work and then doing some digital painting too. People like Scott Roberston get some amazing results with that process.

@ShannonBiondi Those are great! What were your tools and time limits?

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far.

@Braden-Hallett I will definitely do it in an isometric style next time. I think you mentioned that after I posted it before. Certainly makes things easier to read at this design stage!

Question on the alignment: Wasn't our goal on these to make things more interesting and less symmetrical? I imagined this being built like an ocean or riverfront property, where one side is more interesting and would only need balconies looking one direction. (And tried to stick to the thumbnail)

@Heather-Boyd Good call on the lines. I was practicing with a new drawing monitor and really wanted to practice. Definitely not consistent though. I'll keep that in mind.

@MichaelaH I think this raises a good question of what type of details we should put into this phase. I was trying to keep time spent to a minimum since this wouldn't actually be shown publicly (normally).

How detailed is too detailed in this phase? How accurate would something like a window need to be? My thought process was basically "could I build a 3d model out of this?" I'm interested to see how far others take this phase with the details.
