    Thank you for redirecting me to that section! The only remaining question I have related to the back corner is if I should truly be making it a single point and potentially sacrificing one of my internal lines. In cases where there's no way that all three internal lines will realistically meet up together and form a back corner, would it be preferred to just have two lines meet and the third attached to one of those lines with the best convergence goal for all 3 sets of lines individually? Or to sacrifice(making it obviously converge too fast/diverge) that third line making up the back corner for the sake of meeting up with the corner point? I've been utilizing the first method since that seems to line up more with the goal of the exercise from my understanding. Basically prioritizing lining up all my parallel lines than worrying about the back corner? I can see an argument that doing this could be messing up the opportunity for error checking, however.

    Thank you!

    Hello! So I have a couple questions for the 250 box challenge. https://imgur.com/a/wR0ixN9

    I've been struggling with the back Y coming together properly fairly consistently. Sometimes I can point to obvious mistakes in the other lines that make up my box, but in number 68 for ex., I'm having a bit more trouble as it seems like most of the lines here are converging and lining up with each other nicely. That being said, the line for the dark green mark (on the right side) that should line up with the Y is completely off and converges way too fast and this is without placing it to where the corner of the other two inner lines meet. Is there something obvious I'm missing with the box's construction that's causing this axis to have one line that's wildly inconsistent with the other two?

    For the back lines should I just draw them forming a neat Y even if one line is obviously going to be converging or diverging sooner than it should or just connect two and have the other meet one of the other lines naturally?

    Thank you!

    Thank you for the critique! Just so I understand the organic perspective box exercise a bit better for the future; when dealing with the vps in this exercise are the vps reset with each box or are the vps established from the initial Y we draw with the first box?

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.
