    Hi (sorry for late reply - I had a DrawABox break..!)!

    Thanks a lot for the thorough feedback, it was useful reading through it (especially the link to the full view of the box) - the time put into it is very much appreciated!

    Totally agree the boxes were shacky until the 200 box mark, but glad they started to make more sense after that.

    I will be moving into lesson 2 this week.

    Thanks again!

    keep up the good work!

    Hello!

    The only issue I could see was on the "Tables of Ellipses" exercise - the ellipses are only meant to have 2 rotations in them. The majority of yours have 2, but there are some with 3 and even 4 rotations.

    It may be something to think why - are the extra rotations added in due to frustration (akin to scribbling something out) due to the first and second rotations not going to plan? If so, then you should work on doing what are you trying to do, and if it doesn't go to plan, just move on - no need for any frustration in the drawing (if that is what it is...), as this will make drawing unenjoyable.

    Other than that, this submission looks good..!!

    Next Steps:

    I would suggest redoing the "Table of Elipses" exercises

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

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.
