These exercises seem fairly well done. However, there are a few notable things you might want to work on.

Most majorly, your line quality. You seem to have a good deal of trouble with making clean confident lines. Personally, i recommend doing the ghosting and superimposed lines a fair few more times to try and help improve that. It'll make everything harder if you don't try and address that.

Second major thing i noticed was with your ellipses, you seem to have significant trouble pushing them as far as you need to, to take up the whole given space. I recommend doing more ellipses as well as a warmup in order to help improve this.

Overall, i think you're doing fairly well.

Next Steps:

Continue to work on these exercises as homework, and move on to the 250 box challenge.

Thank you for the critique! You make very good points, I'll work more on my linework and ellipses when I'm doing my warmups!

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.
