    Hi!

    First thing, the rough perspective boxes, the perpendicular lines are not straight.

    I find that you have a problem with straight line. The straight line is important, no wobble, no tilt.

    I would like to suggest you use this way. If you have time do it everyday.

    1. Use a ruler to draw a line start from 2-3 inches, and then you superimpose it 8 times. Every time you want to draw a line, use the ruler first and then superimpose. Then you vary the size of the line to 5-6 inches, half of page and full of page.

    2. Mark 2 dots and use the ghosting method to draw a line. You'll ghost until you see that your pen start from the starting point and stop and the end point again and again. And then you draw the line. Then you vary the size of line.

    Funnel : That's the improvement.

    I wonder that your superimposed lines and the ghosted lines are improved. But what's a reason when you draw a line in the rough perspective is quite different?

    May I ask you to revise the rough perspective? Plz be careful the perpendicular line (which I see in your revision).

    It's lots lots better.

    In the organic boxes, plz keep in mind that the nearest box of the viewer, the line weight should be stronger than the far end.

    You need to have 2 agreements. I suggest you to go inside Discord, the lesson 1 channel and ask members to agree with these comments.

    Good Luck!

    Next Steps:

    Move on to 250 box challenge!

    Hi!

    Since we draw everyday and use the exercises as warm-up by using the ghost method, our lines and confidence will come. So you are right, spend your time to do it. It will improve your markmaking.

    Have a nice day!

    Hi!

    The Superimposed Lines: They are quite wobble. You should make it clear between drawing straight line and curve line. The instructor want us to focus on the straight line rather than the curve line. But it's o.k. if you would like to draw curve lines. Please make it clear. Because it seems that your long straight lines are curved.

    The Ghosted Lines: They are wobble. Using the ghost method before drawing. There are 3 steps of the ghost method, right (Plan, prepare and execute)? It will help us to clarify what we're going to do.

    The ghosted planes : The same issue is about wobble lines.

    Table of Ellipses : They are quite loose, not nudged each other and some are overlapped. In each small frame, you should draw same size and same angle of each ellipsis. It's important to draw in each scope. It will help us to form ellipsis.

    Ellipsis in Planes : There are a single line on ellipsis. On each ellipsis should be drawn 2-3 times.

    Funnel : Ellipses are tilt or slant. And the funnel exercise is for practicing the different degree of ellipses due to the viewer. Your ellipses of funnel are same angle, quite loose, not touch each other.

    The Plotted Perspective : There is a box which I mark on the image that you hatched the wrong side of the box. That side is not facing to the viewer. https://imgur.com/a/3yRLtEH

    The Rough Perspective : The lines of the boxes are wobble. Although most of those lines the width lines be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon, the straight lines are also important.

    The Rotated Boxes : They are out of shape. Please watch the video, read the text again. I had the problem when I first draw the rotated boxes. Therefore, I follow step by step on the video. Finally it's better and also my understanding.

    The Organic Boxes : The ground of this exercise is near and far object. It's related to the size of the box. So revise the lesson again and make it clear for you.

    If you have any questions, please join the discord. You could put your questions. There are many people can help you.

    Hi!

    The Superimposed Lines: They are quite wobble. Here my suggestion. The first line you use a ruler to draw 4 sizes of line. The first is 2-3 inches long. The second is 5-6 inches long. The third is half page long. And the last is almost full page long.

    And then you draw on the line of ruler. For example you draw the first size and then the next line with the same size, you dot the starting and end point. And then you use the ghosting method, ghost until you see that you feel your hand start and end at the correct position. And then you draw it. I think it will improve the curve and wobble line.

    You can use this method in the ghosted lines.

    The Ghosted Planes: It should not be a triangle. I mark it so you'll realize that it's not a square.

    https://imgur.com/a/Mx3XoP2

    And you didn't draw all the planes with ellipses. You let some of the ghosted planes without ellipses.

    Table of Ellipses: The ellipses should not be overlapped. The ghosting method can help. Ghost before draw and use your shoulder.

    Funnel : The angle inside the funnel is not correct. Revise the video and text again.

    The Plotted Perspective : The lines of boxes are quite rush to be drawn. Also the hatching lines are not well done.

    The Rough Perspective : One page of them is better than the other. The width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon.

    The Rotated boxes: Please watch the video and the text again. Work thoroughly. You could draw after the instructor bit by bit. It will improve your work and your understanding.

    The same suggestion of the Organic perspective. They are quite far from the understanding of near and far objects related to the viewer.

    If you struggle with the lesson, you could join discord and post your question in lesson 1 channel.

    Next Steps:

    1 Page of the Superimposed Lines

    1 Page of the Ghosted Lines

    1 Page of the Ghosted Planes

    1 Page of the Table of Ellipses

    1 Page of the Ellipses in Plane

    1 Page of Funnel (with degree shift)

    1 Page of the Plotted Perspective

    1 Page of the Rough Perspective

    1 Page of the Rotated boxes

    1 Page of the Organic Perspective

    Do it slowly, no rush and pay attention to each step.

    Hi!

    The Superimposed Lines : No wobble lines but there are some fraying lines at the start point which should have not been.

    The Ghosted Lines : They seems pretty clean. However there are quite few lines which doesn't stop at the end point. They go over. Not only draw the confident and straight line but stop at the point. Therefore we see this kind of line in the ghost planes as well.

    Your Table of Ellipses are more tight and connected to each other than the ghost planes of ellipses. Your ellipses in planes are quite loose. Try to attach the line of ellipsis to the line of plane.

    Funnel: They are quite symmetrical.

    All kind of your boxes are so nice.

    Next Steps:

    Find 2 agreements and move on to the 250 box challenges. Keep in mind what I mention in your work.

    Thanks

    Hi!

    The superimposed lines: Your lines are confident; therefore, they're shown without wobble in lines and arching lines. However your curve lines are a little bit wobble. I understand the curve lines are more difficult than the straight lines because we can't see it because of our drawing hand. Keep practicing it regularly.

    The ghost lines: The line at the ending point are curved in some lines. Keep in mind that we don't want a curve on a straight line. We don't focus on the accuracy rather than confidence and straight. Practicing the ghost method before drawing.

    Table of Ellipses : There are some ellipses are overlapped and not tucked each other.

    The ghost planes and the ellipses in planes: I see your attempt to draw ellipses contacted to 4 corners. That's good triumph.

    Funnel : They are quite symmetrical.

    The plotted perspective : I don't get why you crosshatched some boxes. Normally we mark the plane with slanted lines from edge to edge as shown here. https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/1e4a234c.jpg

    The rough perspective : The point is that the width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. Most of your lines are not straight. In this course, we have to ghost before draw. Don't be rush to draw.

    The rotated box: For me this one is not easy. I went back to watch the video and draw after the instructor every line. And then its shape is better.

    Tho organic perspective : In my opinion, you drew too much boxes until it becomes confused. The purpose of this exercise is to know about far and near object. The far object should be smaller than the near object to the viewer.

    Next Steps:

    1 Page of the plotted perspective: Draw the hatching lines (not cross hatching) of the front face of box nicely.

    1 Page of the rough perspective: Draw the straight lines for the box and nice front face hatching lines.

    1 Page of the organic perspective : Draw not too much boxes. Watch the way the instructor draw.

    When you finish, reply me.

    Hello!

    The superimposed lines: Your lines are confident, therefore they're shown without wobble in lines and arching lines.

    The ghost lines: Most of them aren't stop at the end point. There are some curving end points. You wanna keep it right at the end point so that you curve your line at the end. Try to ghost until you feel confident that the line will start from the start point and stop at the end point before draw it.

    Table of Ellipses: There are some ellipses are overlapped and not touch each other. However your lines are confident and 2-3 times drawn on each one.

    Ellipses in Planes: They're good.

    Funnel: The symmetry and degree shift is the main goal on this exercise. You should pay attention to how the minor axis is cut in the center of ellipses. And the degree shift from narrower to wider starts from the center of the funnel. Watching this video will refresh your understanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiMEIg2fU-g

    The plotted perspective: You didn't draw all the line as I show you. Be prudent on what you draw. This exercise you have to draw through each box. I draw some (in blue line), not all. https://imgur.com/a/WRGM9bL

    The rough perspective : Your width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. Yout lines are not straight enough. Please use the ghost method to accomplish this exercise.

    The organic perspective: This exercise will help you to consider about which objects is near or far by the size of the box.

    Next Steps:

    1 Page of the Table of Ellipses: No overlap and nudge each other.

    1 Page of the Plotted Perspective : Draw every line of each box.

    1 Page of the Rough Perspective : Draw with straight line of width lines parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon.

    When you finish, plz reply me.

    Thank you for your explanation.

    I know that you felt it in a good way because I see this sing :) in the end of your last sentence of the comment.

    Feel comfortable to say anything to me. No problem.

    Have a good day!

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.
