Yes. I recently learned of the thumbnail approach. I will try that, along with better forethought. I was going off of feel, more than anything for each area I was working on.
Thanks for the critique! I suppose my comment on the ellipses is that I feel like I really struggle getting consistent smooth arches throughout the shapes and in the same spot. As suggested ill try to ghost a bit more, though sometimes it feels like i ghost 7 times and still it turns out wobbly. Practice though should help that. I'll also keep in mind not to draw from the elbow, I did notice I was doing that on some lines throughout the process. I appreciate the thorough feedback, first time I've had this so I'm grateful.
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
