Congrats on completing lesson one of DaB, Cana! I'll be reviewing your work based on each exercise
Superimposed lines and ghosted lines
Your superimposed lines look good. They all maintain a constant trajectory, leading to less fraying. Your lines are clearly defined and consistent. Your curves and lines are varying shapes and lengths, which is good. Your ghosted lines turned out decent. You should try varying their lengths, they all seem about the same size. Though, you are creating clean & confident lines. Nice work!
Ghosted planes, tables of ellipses, and Ellipses in funnels
Your tables of ellipses are looking very good. You are doing a good job drawing through them twice. They are smooth and show confidence. Your ghosted planes are looking good as well. It seems like you've drawn them over maybe 3-4 times, you should stick to 2. They do show confidence and look pretty clean. Your ellipses in funnels are looking good aswell. I don't have much to say about them. Overall, your ellipses are developing quite well. Great job!
Plotted perspective, Rough perspective
Your plotted perspective looks good, nothing much to add. Your rough perspective is looking decent. I see you have confident lines, and are using the ghosting method. Good job :)
Rotated boxes and organic perspective
Your rotated box exercise was a pretty good attempt. You have nice linework, but the boxes aren't rotating enough. Good job on drawing through the box and making nice lines, though. Your organic perspective looks pretty good aswell! I can see you are using the ghosting method, and creating confident lines.
Overall, you did a pretty good job. I can see improvement in your linework. You should practice 2-3 of these exercises for 10-15 minutes everyday, to strengthen your linework
Next Steps:
Feel free to do the 250 box challenge! Good luck :)
I really appreciate the opinions you gave me about the homework
Cana,
Good job on doing all your homework. I would appreciate appreciate if you review mine as well when you get a chance.
LInes:
Some of your superimposed line are a bit wobbly. I think because they are too long, but they are actually pretty straight for how long they are. Also you are consistent an dthat is good.
Your ghosting lines are actually impressive. Not much to say there
You have 3 loops on the elipses with the planes, I think the instructions were looking for 2
Some of the rotating boxes have lines diverting away instead of towards the vanishing points. Not sure I can explain it well
The rotating boxes, if you look at the overall, it looks more like a square than a ball. I think you probably nee dto be more agressive on your vertical plane when you shrink the planes
Overal kudos for completing the homework an dtake time to review your work and find your own mistakes.
Keep going
Next Steps:
I think you are ready to continue
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.
