I'm sorry if I reply to your critique just now, I don't think there's a way to get a notification from critiques on the site. I have finished lesson 4 already, but I did remake the branches page anyways. You're right, they look more tridimensional this way.
Thanks for the critique! Yep, at first I did overshoot lines a bit because the angle at which I am more comfortable drawing isn't 45° and I had yet to figure it out. Now that I got in what direction to move my hand I tend to not overshoot at all, probably can be seen in later excercised, I hope at least lol
For plotted perspective, I preferred not to put the external boxes because I felt that adding more lines (not even related to construction lines) would've made everything more clutter-y and difficult for me to follow, and I was able to rotate the boxes in my head so I opted to not draw them.
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.
