Yes, unfortunate in the previous attempts I was focus on the qaulity of the work. I also seem to have negelected the corner boxes in them. I was attempting to make the boxes obey a sphere; this time I tried to follow the exercise as close as possible.
My apologies; I will try to follow along as best I can from this point onward.
For a second I thought you might have made the same mistakes again - but it seems you uploaded the same attempt as before. Perhaps you scanned the wrong page, or uploaded the wrong file.
Ah - upon inspecting it I realized that it was the previous attempt. Looking at the thumbnails they begin to bleed together.
This one is a 4x4 unlike the previous attempt. I'm usually careful about these things.
Alrighty, much better! So most notably, you're following the instructions much more closely now (as you said) - not only did you complete those corners this time around, you're also maintaining tight gaps between the boxes (keeping neighbouring edges roughly parallel) and limiting guesswork out into those corners as well. Previously you were mainly doing that towards the center, but relied more on guessing as you went further out.
I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete. So if I remember correctly, you'll only need to submit 50 boxes for the box challenge, though be sure to let the TA know that I'll be the one critiquing your work. Just be sure to give each box, and each mark, as much time as it requires to be executed to the absolute best of your ability, and be sure to apply the line extensions at the end of each page to analyze where your approach can be adjusted for the next page.
Next Steps:
Move onto the box challenge.
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.
