    The organic forms don't wrap around enough making them feel like just lines running across the form. The texture is very well done, I don't really know how to critique it because I haven't grasped it as well as you did there. I would say you're main priority is more confident lines because all the exercises have some wobbly line work. I would suggest doing the 1 page of the organic forms using more curved lines and 1 page of the form intersections. Try and really focus on the line work even if the lines are over or undershot.

    Next Steps:

    1 page of organic forms with lines

    1 page of form intersections

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    https://imgur.com/a/Y4RaN8r Thanks for the critique! I did two pages because I realized the first redo was basically what you told me NOT to do. I made the second one bigger and tried to clean up the line work a bit more that time. Feel free to make me redo it if I'm still quite not getting it.

    I did put the 250 box challenge up for critique, but I never got a critique and I didn't have a credit to submit it at the time. I guess I missed the part where that was mandatory (I got a bad habit of skimming through the reading sometimes.) I'll hold off on the lessons because even I felt like I was going through them too fast and absorbing too much at the same time. I think I responded better this time with the concepts I was lacking. If not don't hold back. Thank you for pointing out my other lessons, it reminded me that I still have to practice the techniques from the previous lessons to do better on the next lesson.

    Your lines are pretty clean throughout the whole challenge so props to that, but I think your main problem is heavy distortion/ foreshortening on some of the boxes. Try and be more careful and makes sure you want your parallel lines to converge off the page.

    Glad I could help.

    Yeah, I had the same problem with adding line weight to my boxes, many many offshoots.

    you got kind of sloppy with the line work at the end, but the vanishing points got more consistent at the end also. I think your downward parallel lines were your biggest problem although they did get much better at the end.

    Still having problems with ellipses, but I tried to be more confident.

    the organic perspective has some plotted points, just not in the first large ones.

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.
