    Got it!

    I forgot about the cast shadows and that was something you mentioned on my last lesson D:. I fill in in black to try and give more clarity to the wheels as an experiment but decided not to on the last one since I didn't feel it was helping. I must not forget that!

    As for details I had that doubt on the back of my head through all the lesson but wasn't sure how to proceed so I just focused on laying down the whole construction. But I'll sure try to add more implicit texture to the wheels on lesson 7.

    Thanks for the feedback as always!

    It has happened to me. It's better to move on. If you have followed the instructions throughoutly there shouldn't be a problem. Sometimes life happens.

    Thank you!

    I'll keep a sharp eye for the cast shadows from now on. I shall proceed with the 25 wheel challenge, which I was not prepared for, I think when I started this course that challenge wasn't a prerequisite for lesson 7 so It surprise me a bit hahaha n.n'.

    So sorry for the way I organized the cylinders, I found it the best to proceed that way. Never did it cross my mind that it would have been complicated for reviewing n.n'. I could have done it alternatively drawing cylinders in one sheet and boxes in another and avoid the double enumaration all together. I saw the homework tasks more as requirements and not as separated task on their own.

    As for the cylinder labeled 78/105. Now that you say it, I just realized how the shift in scale and shift in degree correlate... It's so obvious now! I would just experiment and if something looked odd I would asssume it was an extreme box D:

    Important things to consider when doing cylinders in the future.

    • Draw like I was three different people. 1.- Plan, 2.-Ghost, 3.-Trace (NO HESITATION)

    • Be more conscious of the shift in scale and shift in degree and how the relate to each other.

    Again, Thanks for the feedback!

    Thank you so much for the feedback, I actually struggle quite a bit with the legs because you seem to be more carefree on how we could approach it, although I never stopped to think about the dates those demos were released. So my approach was to experiment as much as I could with all the information I was given to get legs that I liked. But now I know that the donkeys route was a good way. The little donkey's one really look solid for me :3. I'll also be more careful where to add contour lines.

    Again, thanks for the feedback.

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
