Thank you very much :D
But it was fine to make the texture analysis also again, It was a quick task and still helpfull.
The form intersections on the other side, just grilled my brain again xD
Just made the requested updates.
Hey, thank you very much! Due to the longer wait time I already started with the next level, but a bit slower, since I still hoped for some feedback.
I just want to be sure on one point:
"Do this for crumpled paper (third column with grading from darkest to lightest)", was my third column not okay? Since during the texture analysis I tried to go from dark to less dark. My result looked kinda similar to those of other people, thus I wonder why I should also redo the 3 column.
The rest is so far clear for me.
Just one correction.... I just confused the "form intersections" with "organic intersections" in my notes. The organic intersections were fine and I had a lot of fun with them. I had problem with the form intersection thus my comment should also make more sense.
FYI: I will take the “Organic Arrows” as a regular exercise/warm up.
also here the link does not work ;)
The link does not work
Heyho,
first: congratulations on drawing the 250 boxes
All in all your lines seems pretty confident, although there are some mistakes here and there. In most cases its just some overshooting, what isn’t such a problem. But I also saw some wobbly lines and some that bend. Keep that in mind when you go forward and concentrate on doing straight confident lines, while using your shoulder.
I see a proper improvement of your line convergence after box 85+, that continues until the end.
What is a bit sad is, that you barely draw boxes with strong foreshortening (https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/1/foreshortening) and very different scale (e.g. two very long and one very short axis, or two very shot axes and one very long). In my opinion such boxes help to get a better understanding of the line convergence and how lines interact. I would recommend drawing one, maybe 2 of such boxes as a warm up when you go forward with lesson 2.
All in all seems pretty decent. So have fun with the next lesson :D
Next Steps:
Hit lesson 2 :D
Maybe add some very different boxes with strong foreshortening to your warm up when go forward.
Thank you!
I will check if I will add from time to time a warm up, were I train the straight, confident lines beside of the normal lessons.
I think some of the very woobly lines were created when I tried to make the lines thicker, as required by the task (Line weight)... I often painted over an existing line several times to get the line weight... resulting in more messy and woobly lines
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.
