Thank you for your critique! I did notice that occasionally my lines would pair off, but I wasn’t sure why. Thank you for linking that information. I appreciate your time and efforts in looking through these.
The last page is a screenshot of a scan, so I’m not sure what the image quality will look like on your end. Happy to take a different photo if this one doesn’t work.
Hello Benj! Thank you for the critique. I am an absolute beginner when it comes to the more refined drawing techniques. I didn’t even notice the curved ends of the lines on the ghosted lines and ellipses in planes exercises. I suppose from now on, I should take a closer look at my work after finishing an exercise.
As far as the funnels, I don’t think I understood the exercise well enough. But I promise I read the article and watched the videos along with it. As with my table of ellipses and funnels, I didn’t really understand how to change the angles. I think it was one of those “I didn’t know what I didn’t know” moments. But looking at it after reading your critique, I understand what you’re saying now.
Speaking of those types of moments, it also did not occur to me that my back lines should have been parallel with the horizon. But that makes total sense now. Most of the perspective concepts didn’t fully click until the 2nd page of the Organic Perspective exercise.
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.
