Hi! I will be critiquing your lesson 1 homework.

  • We strongly recommend that you that you don't self critique moving forward, it is the critic's job after all. Moreover, It clutters up the page.

  • Your ghosted lines seem fine, there is some wobbling and arching (remember to always prioritize confidence over accuracy). However I can see heavy fraying in almost all of your super imposed lines, your lines can fray at the end not at the beginning. It seems that you have been trying to draw each line parallel to each other? Make sure to properly place your pen at were you previously started the line. Also, you have forgotten to upload your ghosted planes without ellipses.

  • Your ellipses are generally fine some of them lack confidence so make sure to add all these exercises to your warm ups. One thing I have notices in the ghosted ellipses-planes is that some of the circles are stretching towards a corner or floating in place. Some circles aren't symmetrically bisected or are slightly deformed.

  • For your rough perspectives I have noticed that some of your boxes have that are parallel instead of in perspective. Your plotted perspective is good however is underpopulated, you are meant to add multiple in one frame. There are perspective issues with your rotated boxes and organic perspective but there is no need to grind these out as they will be addressed in the box challenge.

Next Steps:

Please do these revisions before proceeding

  • One page of plotted perspective (with more boxes in each frame)

  • One page of super imposed lines (make sure there is minimal to no fraying at the start)

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Its alright your ghosted planes seem fine. Thank you for submitting your revision!

Next Steps:

Make sure to include all of these exercises in your warm ups. I think it will be fine for you to continue 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.
