Questions regarding form intersections

12:43 PM, Sunday April 28th 2024

Hi! I've managed to progress to form intersections, and I am having some problems with it.

(still on the first page and felt i should've asked here a while ago)

Does equilateral shapes mean same line length for all 3 lines if I'm using the Y method?

Even though they're roughly the same length my boxes still feel a bit stretched in some way.

Also, does equilateral shapes mean the same sizes for every shape?

My boxes vary in sizes and I try to make every box's edge lines the same length, but currently it's not turning out great as I feel like my boxes are very messy (estimating VPs) and I'm thinking about maybe retrying to get a better grasp of it since I just don't seem to be able to get the boxes to be equilateral.

Thanks!

Equilateral refers to keeping the scale of the form you're constructing relatively similar in each dimension. That is not the same as simply keeping the length of your Y's edges equal on the page, because this doesn't account for distances extending into the depth of the scene.

That said, it is not something you need to worry about being entirely precise - it's just asking you not to intentionally play with forms that are extremely long in any one dimension.

Ah, I think I probably understand what that means.

i'll probably watch the video again just in case, thank you!

glad I asked first else It'd be too late when I progress into the 2nd page of the exercise.

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.
