Grats on completing the challenge Vaniilo, it's a real marathon.

One thing that jumps out at me right away is how a lot of the center boxes have almost the same proportions and orientation, like 187 to 203. You'll learn a lot more trying all different kinds of sizes and angles than trying to perfect that one box over and over again.

Your line confidence is fairly well done, though I do see a few times here and there where you retraced a line. Try not to overdo it, as retracing the line makes it bolder and more obvious that you made a mistake.

Your angles vary but you seem to have a good grasp on it, seeing that you got several perfect convergences. Just remember to be aware that there's two different kinds of foreshortening (dramatic and shallow), and to practice both.

I like the small notes you did on each page, you clearly knew the most important parts that you needed to work on and fixed them accordingly. I think with enough time and practice, you can easily iron out all the small kinks in your boxes. Keep going!

Next Steps:

I can see that you're already midway through Lesson 2 and well on track! Keep it up!! You got this.

Oh yeah, and thanks again for critiquing my own 250 Boxes. I'm a little late, but hopefully this was enough to return the favor.

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
