took me like an hour or smth this is a massive step up from deco objects 2 also I feel like this is js a waste of time cause copying doesnt rly help creators, taking inspiration does though

grade it later ig

[winter pumice]

you are missing a green line behind in the middle, and the spike structure should be solid and not hollow

[winter pumice]

these exercises help you see what objects can be used for what purpose, so you know what to do when you start creating your own levels i think

I guess but hopefully 1.5 isnt just copying

[winter pumice]

yeah

[ebon horizon]

like i understand grade 1 is just copying stuff

[winter pumice]

the further your grade the more freeform the exercises

[ebon horizon]

yeah thats better, the only reason im here is to improve my use of colors in designs (being able to use a lot of colors in one design while still making it look good) and my atmosphere stuff cause im a glow creator

Studies (which are a form of copying) can help actually.

Recall the point of these exercises is to get used to placing objects down in the right positions, and to train your eye in recreating details from images.

Both of those are skills that will be necessary for not just the grade 1.5 exercises (where you're asked to do so while working with objects from scratch), but also for any sort of reference use in general.

Seeing as your submission does need a lot of work I do think this is a skill you should practice after all.

I suggest you slow down, remake each detail one at a time, and pay close attention to what's in the reference image.
