The terms I used were "steeper" angles to the right closer to the light source and "shallower" angles to the left, further away from the light source. This means the angles are bigger for those rays hitting the objects farther to the left, away from the light source.

That said, it is a little inappropriate to piggyback on a student's paid feedback. If you have questions, ask them in the discussion/questions section of the website, or ask on the discord chat server.

ohh it was paid? I didn't realize. I was looking at some challenge submissions because i was overwhelmed and honestly lost while doing this challenge. I didn't really know where to focus but looking at some submissions at specifically this critique really helped me. so, if l dld something inapropriate I would like to apologize to you and the student. I am deeply sorry.

but seriously though this critique really helped but now I know I mooched of this student and feel very guilty damn it. textures don't make any sense on paper quite literally.

Hmmm, I won't really say texture don't make sense on paper, if done the right way texture helps put out the form of a shape, on paper drawing the whole texture observed from a reference something tends to make the drawing looks rough and make it like drawing just random lines to solve this it's important to know when to stop, draw in the important cast shadows. Trust me I do this myself, for instance am doing studies of a tree, rock, ancient Greek or Egypt buildings, there's lots of cast shadows and form lines running around this stuffs and it's filled with them.

I start studying the reference and drawing every line on the rock, get obsessed with the thing at the end of the day I end up with a form filled with haphazard lines, no focal points and no place for the eye to rest. Anyway I really love your submissions especially the wheel challenge, it's really awesome, keep it up

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.
