Hello, Uncomfortable! I've finished working on the cylinders and followed your advice. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

I got your new submission, and saw that you were trying to submit revisions - looks like you replied to your own comment, rather than to mine, so I was never notified of it. I've gone ahead and cancelled your new submission so the credit should have been returned to your account.

So! Looking at your work here, this is much better than before. I can see that you've been more mindful of that degree shift, keeping it proportional to the shift in scale in your first set of cylinders. You've similarly done a good job with the second set of cylinders in boxes - you've employed the line extensions quite well, and I can see that across the set your instinctual sense of proportion, regardless of how the boxes themselves are rotated in space, has certainly moved in the right direction.

There's just one little adjustment I would recommend - right now it seems you're neglecting to extend the minor axis lines for the ellipses. You're relying instead on the original line that had been drawn prior to putting down the ellipses. Instead, once the ellipses are down, you should be drawing a new line based on where that ellipse's true minor axis is, being sure to extend it all the way back. This will ensure that you don't end up with any errors going unnoticed in that area.

Anyway, all in all, great work. I'll go ahead and mark this challenge as complete.

Next Steps:

Feel free to move onto lesson 6.

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.
