Hey man, my plasure!

Regarding applying lighter strokes, it's one of those things that will take you practice, there is no better way to put it. The more you use your fine liner, the more you will know the in and outs of it.

Now, Yes I'm aware it takes some long for revie, my lesson two review took 28 days, and I fel also anxious. However, there are things you can do between lessons, I try to do photo studies to get more comfortable with digital painting (I'm telling you this as an example) You should look for other things to practice. Also, The more critique's you do when you have a submission posted, the more time that submission stays up in the front pages, so take that into account.

Now that you have completed lesson 2, you can review work both from this lesson and the 250 box challenge (plus lesson 1), I really encourage you to do this althoguh you don't feel you are ready, you really learn a lot from it.

Best of luck!

Will do, thank you. I can't promise I'll be able to completely stop myself from moving to a later lesson (I know that feel with the ~month wait, not to mention my box stuff only eventually got noticed via this submission haha), but I'll try to spend a week at least just doing some reviews before moving on. Hopefully that combined with the boost from reviews will get it seen faster.

Okay, it's not ideal, but it's something. Good luck

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.
