    I think the biggest improvement area in your work is making more confident strokes without wobbles that go all the way through from point A to B. It already seems like you've improved on this since you began, with obvious improvement in your organic perspective exercise. I also thought your ability to rotate the shapes in your rotated boxes exercise was really impressive, though some of the lines could have been straighter or marked more confidently.

    Next Steps:

    250 box challenge!

    Thank you! I definitely see those critiques. I'm hoping to improve even more in the 250 box challenge.

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.
