Hello,

Arrows: the linework is very wobbly - it looks like you're using your wrist to draw those, you should use your shoulder instead

Contours-ellipses: OK

Contours-curves: too wobbly again

Texture: OK

Intersections: OK, shadows should follow the forms more though

Next Steps:

You got the concepts from the lesson and can move to Lesson 3, though I suggest working a bit on better line quality first

I agree! You could also make the shading of your arrows an opportunity to practice lines between two points. If you're looking to advance more, you could make the line weigth less as the arrows move farther away

Also on the form intersections be careful that the intersection line stays on the surface closest to the viewer. For example, the box in the top left of https://i.imgur.com/p1TC1fX.jpeg has an intersection that ends on the back edge.

Also nice ellipse contours!

If you're willing to take a look at my submission https://drawabox.com/community/submission/BM06QITQ, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks guys for taking a look at my work.

I do agree with you, the arrows are not something I would be fond of, though I redid a part of the lesson (arrows included) and they seemed to improve.

Thanks your feedback and have a nice day!

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.
