I am sorry for the duplicate post, I decided to upload the whole lesson.

Up to this point I've learnt that I don't have to hesitate, make the stroke too fast nor too slow. If I take my time ghosting, and I make it steady and with confidence, the lines are drawn greatly.

Besides the perspective exercises that were obviously the most difficult, I think ellipses are my weakest. They are inconsistent, with wrong proportion and and incorrect perspective inside the squares. I feel better drawing circles rather than irregular ellipses.

Would really appreciate some critique. Thanks in advance!

Judging by your i would say pretty good hob but there are still minor mistakes you have for one when Ghosting your lines you fail to meet the mark and some drift away which is bound to happen just make sure you are consistent with your lines.Also the two point perspective was meant to throw you in the deep end of the pool its was meant to be hard so dont beat your self over it.One more thing about elipese I recomended you get in the habit of drawing elipses if you you really think your struggling mosr with it but apart from everthing else nice job.

Next Steps:

After your done with lesson 1 you do the 250 box challege before going onto lesson 2.But i highly recommend you do ellipse exercise as a warmup before you draw.

Thank you very much for your critique! I'm gonna start drawing ellipses for warmup as you said before drawing the boxes.

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.
