Hi!
I may have focused a bit too much on getting accurate contour lines, as they were in the reference pictures, than on construction. I've found that working with ink actually inhibits my tendency to add construction lines, since I don't want the drawings to look too messy or hard to read. So I unconsciously keep it to a minimum of lines.
Anyhow, let me know what you think! :)
I haven't done the exercise myself yet, but from what I can tell it looks absolutely amazing! The drawings are really convincing and on top of that your technique seems to be spot on!
I can not really find any criticism!
Next Steps:
I would continue with the lesson schedule as provided!
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.
