    Right; I'm just trying to figure out why the things you noticed happened so that way I can learn and improve to get better. Your advice has helped and trying to figure how could I have done better looking back on them.

    Thank you very much for the feedback. I had to go back and re-read through your description a couple times but I see what you meant. Drawing Elipses is tough, even more so traditionally and I think how this could have been avoided was more warming up and ghosting to really make sure I had it before putting my pen to the paper.

    As for the axis, with so many lines I think what happened was I might have gotten confused and misjudged where it was supposed to go. I'm wondering here maybe after the box maybe that axis should have been founded first to avoid that mistake? Just a thought. I wonder also if instead of going for such extreme angels perhaps minor ones would have been better for this challenge.

    That said while waiting for this the fun stuff posted in digital media I have not only been trying to apply bettern construciton with this channllenge, I feel my cylinders, lines, elipses, and boxes have gotten better so this challenege certianly has helped.

    Overall I think by just warming up more and better step by step for construction some of these things can be overcommed. In addition applying these things to my fun art also helps me grasp a better way of understanding these concepts. So once again thank you for going over this. I'll do my best moving forward.

    Much better. I think now you are ready to move on.

    Next Steps:

    Just remember to read the directions carefully.

    Next Steps:

    Remember read the directions, and above all that while a challenge it can be done.

    Hello I'll be covering your HW.

    Superimposed lines: Biggest thing you only sumbited one page, you need two.

    Ghosted Lines: This is a complete mess and jumble. Direcitons need to be read properly and examples seen.

    Ghosted Planes: Better, direcitons were followed.

    Table of Elipses: Clustered but attempt to keep everything tight is there.

    Elipses in a Plane: Little wobbly and shaky. Warming up with ghosting would help.

    Funnels: Much better with elipses. Improvement.

    Plotted Perspective: Sadly most of the box lines don't even reach intended point.

    Rough Perspective: Not bad here but a revsion would help.

    Rotated Boxes: Much better, direcitons were read, clear understanding.

    Organic Perspective: Not bad I think you got it.

    Next Steps:

    The thing I noticed was not seeming to read the directions. So revisions are needed. I would like one of the following:

    Superinmposed lines

    Ghosted Lines

    Plotted perspective

    Rough Perspective

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Hello I'll be covering your HW. Please make sure things are uploaded in order so there is no mix-up. Also make sure when takign the pictures, the other assignments are out of frame. Just so they aren't distracting.

    Superimposed lines: A little messy but I think you got the idea.

    Ghosted Lines: A number of the lines appear wobbly not as confident.

    Ghosted Planes: A little rough, but line work is better.

    Table of Elipses: Overall good job.

    Elipses in a Plane: Can see a solid attempt and understanding.

    Funnels: Elipses appear better.

    Plotted Perspective: No issues here.

    Rough Perspective: I see a few issues here. A couple boxes don't have lines, one has lines going way off.

    Rotated Boxes: Yeah this is definitly going to need a revision.

    Organic Perspective: Not bad but I think another attempt woudl help.

    Next Steps:

    So what I would like to see is one more attempt on organic perspective, roatated boxes for sure, and rough perspecitve each. I think what can help is just re-reading the insturcitons.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Hello I'll be covering your HW.

    Superimposed lines: A little fraying on both ends, but most of them don't show. Just be careful to make sure your pen starts on starting dot.

    Ghosted Lines: A lot of these are going beyond their ending point or missing their ending point.

    Ghosted Planes: Much better, the issues seend before don't show up. Improvement

    Table of Elipses: Well done on these.

    Elipses in a Plane: Overall good job.

    Funnels: Not bad a few aren't quiet touching the lines, but I think you got the idea.

    Plotted Perspective: No issues here.

    Rough Perspective: Really well done.

    Rotated Boxes: Gorgeous sphere. Well done.

    Organic Perspective: Excellent well done.

    Next Steps:

    I do belive you are ready to move on.

    Hello I'll be covering your HW. Make sure for future uploads the order of what you're supposed to do is in order so future submisions the one doing the critique will not have to jump around to see your stuff.

    Superimposed lines: A few having fraying at both ends, but most don't show this. Good work.

    Ghosted Lines: Solid straight lines that all meet their matching ends. Well done.

    Ghosted Planes: These appear to be solid. Well done.

    Table of Elipses: Good attempt keeing everything tight. But a number are breaking out of bounds.

    Elipses in a Plane: Still quiet a few brekaing out of boundries. But you do seem to understand the direcitons.

    Funnels: A lot better with keeping things in boundries.

    Plotted Perspective: Overall no issues here.

    Rough Perspective: This one is tricky. I think you do undrestand the concept.

    Rotated Boxes: This one is tricky, this looks less like a sphere. But I do think you understand.

    Organic Perspective: Solid work.

    Next Steps:

    Before you move onto 250 boxes, I would suggest when warming up make sure to practice ghosting and reading on different angles for sphere. Doing so might help avoid some of the things I noticed that will come into play for the next thing. But if you are comfortable with moving on, then go for it.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

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.
