Table of Ellipses
-
Your ellipses are still wobbly here.
-
Remember to prioritize executing them with confidence first and not worry too much about accuracy
Ellipses on Planes
- Your ellipses are still wobbly here as well, but it looks a bit better than the ones on your submission.
Things to remember when you practice these exercises:
-
Prioritize drawing with confidence first. When I saw your ellipses on planes, you seem hesitant when you execute your ellipses, and it looked like you drew them a bit slowly to make the ellipse touch the borders of the plane. Drawing slowly will make your ellipses look wobbly.
-
You should draw from your shoulder, draw with your whole arm, use the ghosting method, and draw through your ellipses 2-3 times. Doing these things will help you execute smooth ellipses. (Things to Remember: https://youtu.be/gyRHkTPqfrQ)
-
Don’t worry too much about accuracy. Don't worry if your ellipses didn't touch all the borders of the plane because it will get better with practice. What matters most right now is to practice executing your marks with confidence and less hesitation.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
The Art of Blizzard Entertainment
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.
