    I think that would be better if you used pencil and paper.

    Hi

    your organic arrows are a little bit impecise and also the ellipses of te organic forms. Remember the exercises from lesson 1: draw your lines with confidence!

    The inclinations of the ellipses of the organic forms are the same, you haven't thought about your forms in 3d. when you draw be careful to think about the perspective.

    your texture analisys and dissections are pretty good well done!

    In the texture analisys don't be afraid to use shadows, use the black pen to cast more shadows.

    and in the dissections try to draw more deitail.

    the form intersection was very well done good job.

    the organic intersection were unconsistent. all the sausages don't have weight, they have the same form.

    the shadows of that exercise do not have too much problems (try to imagine all your drawings in 3d it will help you a lot!!!)

    Next Steps:

    Do 2 pages of organic intersections applying also what you have learnt from the organic forms. (confident lines).

    Remember the 50 percent rule: at least half of the time you spend drawing must be devoted to drawing purely for its own sake.

    All of your exercises are really good, so well done!

    These are small flaws that I have noticed:

    In the dissection exercise try to use shadows to define even better the texture.

    In the form Intersections exercise you have messed up some intersections but that's normal (try to visualize the intersections in your mind, in three dimensions).

    In the Organic Intersections exercise don't be afraid to cast the right shadows (the shadows are too thin).

    That's all, your exercises were very good! Keep going and don't forget the 50 percent rule: at least half of the time you spend drawing must be devoted to drawing purely for its own sake.

    Keep going!

    The next time that you will submit your homeworks use imigur! It has been a pain to open every link.

    Your superimposed lines are good, try to do a page of superimposed lines every 10 min per day if you want you will gradually get better at it (but do that a little at a time, don't grind!!!).

    Your ghosted lines and planes are very good, nothing to say about those exercises, well done.

    Your ellipses are good but they are a little inaccurate: try to be more careful when you draw them and remember to use the ghosting method.

    You have forgot to do (or submit) 2 filled pages of the Ellipses in Planes exercise, remember to do that.

    Your funnels are too chaotic and the ellipses are stacked among themselves.

    the Plotted Perspective exercise and Rough Perspective exercise are good (be more confident with your lines)

    The rotated boxes exercise is also good but you haven't added the lines that can't be seen without x-ray vision. You've only done half of the exercise.

    The organic perspective is very good!

    I hope that I was helpful. Good luck, keep going!!!

    Next Steps:

    2 filled pages of the Ellipses in Planes exercise

    1 page of rotated boxes

    Superimposed lines until you feel safe enough to continue to the second lesson or the 250 boxes challenge.

    Remember the 50 percent rule: at least half of the time you spend drawing must be devoted to drawing purely for its own sake.

    If you haven't do the lesson 1.

    It will help you a lot trough all the lessons and challenges.

    Hi,

    your organic arrows are pretty good but they are slightly inaccurate.

    In the organic forms with contour lines some lines are insecure. Keep in mind to use the ghosting method and to do the lines without fear in one movement of the arm (especially when you draw ellipses).

    In the texture analysis your exercise lacks details : you have to be more careful to grasp the texture and all the tiny lines that define the shape of what you draw (the texture is never random).

    Also don't be afraid to cast shadows (also in the dissection exercise). When needed use the black without fear; visualize in your mind the form of your texture in tree dimensions! (that will help you to know where to cast your shadows).

    Besides that the dissection exercise is well done (the perspective of the dissection in the first page at the bottom right is wrong).

    The form intersection exercise is good but you went over the lines too many times (also there try to visualize the forms in three dimension, it is difficult but it will help).

    Your organic intersections have wobbly lines and some shadows are missing.

    Your major mistake were the insecure lines; try to redo some exercises of lesson 1 to make lines straighter and more confidently.

    Try to think about the shadows that you're casting, observe in the real world how the objects are casting their shadows and watch carefully the textures around you: your skin, the fabric of your clothes, the wood of which the pencils are made...

    Observe everything with scrupulous attention and you will draw with more accuracy and realism!

    I hope that my review will help you, good luck!!

    Next Steps:

    Do some pages of ghosted lines and funnels from lesson 1 (until you feel confident) and any exercise that you think will help you to gain more confidence in your lines.

    Do another pages of dissections (lesson 2) and remember to cast shadows!

    Remember the 50 percent rule: at least half of the time you spend drawing must be devoted to drawing purely for its own sake.

    Thank you for the advices, especially for the one about the ghosting lines.

    No I haven't finished all the boxes in one night but last night I have made many (like 60) in order to finish the challenge and finally move on.

    Thanks and good luck to you too!

    Thank you for all the corrections. I have redone the plotted perspective exercise (sorry for the faded lines all my pens are dying at the same time).

    I will continue with my exercises and lessons with tenacity and determinations.

    Thank you for your time.

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.
