    Thank you for your critique. I will keep what you have said in mind.

    I actually included the images because I figured it would help aid in your critique on how I drew the drawings in 3d space (as best as I could). I was also partially inspired by your determination to draw gross things, so I also figured I might as well do the same thing.

    Thank you very much for your critique. i will try and loosen up my ellipses during my warm-up sessions.

    Hi Pestilence,

    You have really solid work on the superimposed lines. They maintain a strong trajectory and show confidence. A couple lines fray at the end, but it's okay for this lesson.

    Your ghosted lines are pretty good as well. There are not a lot of under or overshoots. Just make sure to keep an eye out for when you are ghosting your lines and putting that pen on paper. :)

    Regarding your table of ellipses, most of the time they fit into the table, but some of them end up not touching the sides. When you are drawing ellipses, you can also ghost them before you put the pen down. This applies for the funnels page, where your ellipses mostly fit in-between the arc lines, but they don't touch each other as much.

    For your ghosted planes, they are also very solid. The ellipses in planes come out with strength and confidence. Keep in mind you are also trying to have the ellipses touch all four sides of the ghosted planes.

    Your plotted and rough perspective needs to have the form drawn through. Sometimes we believe we know what we need to do, but these are one of the few times when we should re-read instructions carefully. You can read starting from this section for plotted, and this for rough perspective. The red lines seems to be draws past the horizontal line, which Uncomfortable states to draw them up to that point, and not towards the vanishing point. .

    Rotated boxes are close and compact enough to see the overall figure. There is a common issue where the boxes are not rotating. . This homework is pretty difficult, so I will say it's alright for now.

    For your organic perspective homework, there is quite a bit of space between the boxes you draw. Some of them are moving away from the viewer, while others have subtle movement, such as this homework here on the far right where it does not seem to rotate away from the viewer at first, but eventually does. Just make sure when you are creating 3D space, add more boxes so that viewers do not have to do guesswork.

    Next Steps:

    I will recommend you do some rough, plotted, and organic perspective homeworks as warm-up exercises. This should take no more than 10 or 20 minutes per day. You can move on to the 250 boxes challenge.

    Great, thanks for your critique Uncomfortable. I will keep what you mentioned in mind. :)

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
