    My first cylinders in boxes felt like i was twisting my wrist by thinking of the minor axis AND vanishing point. i understood later on that it was simply the degree of the cylinder that should be adapted.

    But i felt the same thing on this 250 th box. i don't know how to explain, but i kept the minor axis as a symetrical axis, while keeping in mind the vanishing point.

    Thanks for your review.

    Hi !

    First :

    • i agree, i have difficulty engaging my arm on little drawing. I tried different things (like a drawing support that put the page in front of you, forcing you to have the elbow kinda floating...). I decided to the the 3 more animals on en A3 paper (i used A4 until now) and forcing me to put my animal in the whole page.

    • About time : i am not a patient man... so i can only agree. This time i force myself to look, and it took me more time to complete a drawing.

    • For the informal demo page : when i read the lesson i clearly didn't spend as much time as need on the informal demo page. There are at the end, and feels like a bonus, i remembered that i followed one, and it was ok for me.

    • As additionnal exercice and warm up, i tried to do an homemade exercice : i start with 2 or 3 sausage form linked, and i added some imaginary masses there and there. It kinda force me to go into the leg of animals.

    So here my link to my additional homework : https://imgur.com/a/AE9gS2b

    Thanks !

    Thanks for the review.

    My previous reviewer said the image was not good. I have put my scanner to maximum resolution and photo mode already (can't do more).

    Do you think photo from my phone will be better to scan my work ?

    Do you have an example of the subtlety you are taking about, please ?

    and yeah, for the line weight, i figured this would be a good exercice, so i usually do 5-6 passes. I didn't know if it was "too much".

    Thanks

    Hi Benj,

    Thanks for your feedback. If i have understood well, thoses exercice could pop in future lesson, i will keep in mind the thing that i have missed.

    i'll try to better scan my homework for future lesson.

    For the rotated box, i saw after finishing that some of my boxes didn't turn. I have redone this exercice the next day (i understand the rule about not grinding, but i liked the shape and the construction behind it so i count that as personal work :) ) and the boxes had better rotation. I still struggle with the far plane, there is something missing in my mind for now.

    And for the organic exercice, i'll try to do both, plan and feel :)

    Thanks again.

    Moving on to the Box challenge.

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.
