    Good work! It appears you understand the concepts of the exercises.

    Although your line quality and elipses is rough, this should improve as you continue to practice these excersises as warm ups before you start your future drawing sessions and as you build an understanding of what you are drawing.

    You also seem to have an understanding with the rules of perspective as seen with your work on the box exercises (especially the Rotated and Organic box exercises). It isn't perfect, but thats why there is a 250 Box Challenge.

    Next Steps:

    Now I recommend that you do the 250 Box Challenge to improve their perspective and your line confidence in drawing them.

    After you complete that...then move on to Lesson 2.

    Before you start your future drawing sessons, try to warm up with:

    • Ghosted Planes with Elipses inside them

    • Table of Elipses

    You are welcome!

    The 3 pages are good. Now you should move on to the 250 box challenge to improve your boxes. It's going to be huge grind but persevere! It's worth doing!

    Next Steps:

    Move on to the 250 Box Challenge.

    Do ellipses in planes and table of ellipses as warm ups during the challenge and future lessons.

    Here is my critique...

    In Superimposed Lines and Ghosted Lines, your lines are fine...but in the other parts of the lesson your lines are wobbly. This is also happening to your ellipses. You need to be confident in your muscle memory (which you can build up by ghosting) and draw your lines in one quick motion.

    You failed to follow one of the directions you need to do in the plotted perspective, rough perspective and the organic perspective exercises. You need to do them within separate frames on the same page like so so you can get enough experience with the concepts the lessons introduce.

    In the rotated boxes, you have 4 extra boxes drawn at the top, bottom, left and right, which are unneeded. Other than that it's fine.

    The reason you need to do the rotated boxes and organic perspective exercises is to get you to think about the concepts introduced in them (which you are going to utilize and improve upon in the 250 Box Challenge).

    Next Steps:

    • 1 page of plotted perspective

    • 1 page of rough perspective

    • 1 page of organic perspective

    And then you can move on to the 250 Box Challenge.

    Do ellipses in planes and table of ellipses as warm ups during the challenge and future lessons.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Here is the extra pages I done for the Elipeses in Planes and Rough Persepective excersises: (https://imgur.com/a/6kzBH8g)

    While doing these, I noticed my pen's lines seems to fade out when I draw the line too fast. Is this normal?

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.
