    Hello, thank you for taking the time to critique my work! I'm very grateful for them.

    In all honesty, I would say that I felt extremely guilty about most of the things you mentioned. When I outline them, I have a hard time getting them to converge because I assumed they would be fine when I was ghosting. I appreciate the notes and references; I'll try to apply them.

    With the foreshadowing, I suppose I was hesitant to approach them from a different angle. As a result, even when I attempted, I ended up taking the same position as before, which is why they started to seem a little repetitive. I have some difficulty executing these, which is why they appear shallow.

    Thank you again for your comments. I was very glad that I was able to do it, and I took more time than I had with previous assignments. Also, I'm sorry if this response is delayed; I forgot checking my notifications.

    Hello and great day;

    Ok first of all, I've noticed that there are some shaky lines in the organic lines so I'm not sure if you drew them confidently. I can also tell that you were great at using perspective; however, some of them appear to be off, but other than that, they're all superb.

    Organic Forms, I'd say the contour lines were drawn well, as you can see from the curve degree, but I didn't see some of them with the contour ellipses. The sausages were drawn simply, to the point where I could say they were confidently drawn. I've also noticed that some curves undershoot or overshoot when using the contour.

    Next, the texture analysis is excellent, but I believe you should try to integrate the texture further using the black marker in the right column.

    The texture on the dissections is also really well drawn, and you did an excellent job slicing and breaking them through.

    I liked how you executed the form intersections; they were much cleaner. However, I believe you prefer to overlap them with small groups, though they were all drawn confidently. I'm not sure why certain lines were put over them again, or if it's to demonstrate line weight.

    On the organic intersection, I was a little confused by certain shapes that appeared to be drawn with foreshortening. It would be good if they could make the shadows more distinct and follow the contour of the sausages, like they did with their form.

    Overall, you did a fantastic job with the exercises, despite the fact that I was also an amateur, therefore I believe you could now move on to the next lesson.

    Hello, first of all, I would really want to thank you for taking the time to look at my exercises, and every critique you gave, it really helps me understand the mistakes I've done with the activity.

    I could really say that I'm quite guilty with some of the feedbacks you said which made me think about what I could do for future exercises from now on.

    About the revision, it is totally fine and i would probably take it as a warm-up as exercise so I'll send it again once I've finished it.

    Again, thank you so much and and please accept my apologies for the delay in responding; I get busy finishing other exercises but I really appreciate everything.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.

The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
