Hello and welcome to drawabox. Congratulations on finishing lesson 1.

Lines - Your superimposed lines look good, however I do notice some wobbling as you are trying really hard to aim towards the second point. It is better that you learn confidence and flow now, and accuracy later. Ghosted lines look fine, but you shouldn't go back and fix the mistakes you made, I see that you did that with a couple of these. Instead, make the mark and move on. Remember right now you are trying to worry about smoothness, flow, and confidence. Forget about accuracy. Your ghosted planes look fine, I do see however that you are still trying to go back and fix your mistakes. Confindence > accuracy dont forget that.

Ellipses - Ellipses look rushed, especially in tables of ellipses (Please correct me if I am wrong). Remember that for this exercise you need to draw through your ellipse only 2-3 times, and make sure the ellipses fit snugly against the borders of the tables. Ellipses in planes, you are also drawing through your ellipses too many times here. With funnels, again, just drawing through your ellipses too many times.

Boxes - Plotted perspective looks good. For rough perspective you should try to keep your VP around the center of the page. Your rotated boxes look fine, maybe add some more rotation to them. For organic perspective, try to focus on the boxes going back in space and getting consistently smaller for now.

Next Steps:

1 table of ellipse (draw through them 2-3 times), 1 page ghosted lines (confidence > accuracy)

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

I hope this is good. Sorry about the rough lines, my pen is drying up and needs to be replaced.

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.
