It took me really long to finish the first lesson but I'm happy that I did it and I will continue with the 250 Box challenge next. Feedback would be great, thanks in advance :)

Hi, I noticed that your ghosted lines have some curvature to them. Make sure you're using your shoulder as a pivot and not your wrist/elbow. Other than that, when you're extending your lines on the boxes makes sure you're following the same path as the original line. Some of the extensions seem a bit off.

Next Steps:

Go onwards to the 250 box challenge.

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.
