    Dang, nice work. I think you're getting it a bit more than most students. You're drawing the shadows cast by the forms, not the forms themselves, like the instructions say. I found your textures looking for examples of that.

    Great job, it looks like all of the exercises were done correctly, the cool thing about the exercises is they provide feedback themselves, so you can see where you were off, so there's no point in someone else telling you! Watch out on the last exercise you did, the organic perspective one. You had the "top" of the box getting smaller in some instances. Were you using three point perspective for those or two? They were supposed to be three.

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.
