Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for lesson 4.

First of all: organic forms with counter curves. You did a good job following the instructions and the sausages look well made so good job on that.

As for the Insects: Overall I can see that you didn't draw the intersection/joint for Most of the insects you drew .

The demos look well made for the most part but The Wasp is drawn in a way that makes the abdomen look Disconnected from the thorax.

I don't have much to say about the other demos other than that you did a great job.

For the stag beetle I noticed that you attached the left "arm" in a wrong place in the thorax. While In reality limbs are supposed to be parallel to each others, or at least start from places that are parallel to each others. This is not really important for draw a box, but I thought I should point it out.

as for the spider you did a good job with the construction, but you should have drawn the outline of the Shadow of the limbs that are touching the the wall Because them your spider looks stretched for no reason.

From what I can see, The rest of your insects looks pretty good and I think that you are ready for lesson 5

Thanks for the critique, I'll watch out for those intersections in Lesson 5.

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.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
