Hi :) nice work. Why do you use pages with lines on ellipses in tables? i rather use white paper without lines cause it's gets a little messy on my brain. An advice that i trying to take too: Be more creative on the general composition in the page, like no drawing all in the same direction.
sorry for the crooked english, am not so good at it, but i try my best jejeje. Greetings and keep on drawing!
If you'd like to learn about how to give a more useful critique, you can check out Elodin's Critique Guide here: https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ. Since receiving feedback from one person makes it less likely that a submission will receive more (and potentially more thorough) feedback from someone else, following this guide can really help ensure that the person receiving your critique is getting a full review of what they can improve upon.
Thanks you! i had no clue that there's a guide :) keep in mind next time.
Congrats SIARKOS on completing the assigned exercises for lesson 1. Here's my critique
LINES
Seem to be done in pencil. Should be done in ink. Your superimposed curved lines seem to wobble. Definitely practice those more.
ELLIPSES
You did ok on the table of ellipses, then your confidence seemed to drop quite a bit. Your ellipses in planes are bumpy. You were supposed to make the borders of the funnels with a round object instead of freelining it
BOXES
You are missing the rough perspective exercise. Please submit it.
The rest is fine except the rotated boxes. Your main mistake is not keeping things together.
You were supposed to do three panels of organic perspective per page. I will need another page of that
Next Steps:
I will need the following
One page of ellipses in planes. Aim for confidence rather than accuracy, but try to go close to the edges, don't just throw an ellipse in there and call it good (not that you did now, just saying)
A quadrant of rotated boxes (that's a fourth of the normal exercise)
One page of organic perspective (three panels)
it took some time (I've finish the organic perspective when I've restarted so it's probably less good), but here it is !
Ok, I see some improvement. Rough perspective is a bit weird. sometimes the horizon is vertical (?) You were supposed to do three panels of that per page but I see you understood how to do the exercise so it's ok. Ellipses are still bumpy but I feel they are acceptable at this point. Well done on rotated boxes. Line quality on there dropped but at least it's a good rotation.
I feel like you can continue
Next Steps:
Next step is 250 boxes challenge
Remember the warmup described in the faq under this one https://drawabox.com/faq/grinding
Remember to ghost and draw lines from the shoulder
Also the site needs more reviews. If you have the time, please consider joining in the reviewers by following the guide https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ
Lastly when you complete a review, it shows some already done reviews that need agreeing. With 2 agrees, you allow the lesson to be marked as complete. You can also go to the submission page and give some agrees on there
Doing reviews is important because the emptier the queue in general, the faster everyone gets their reviews (yourself included). People in the later lessons don't have to waste time giving lesson1 critiques, so the more advanced lessons get reviewed quicker.
Thanks if you consider it
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.
