Hey, i'm a beginner too so i'll try my best to give some advices !

Super Imposed Lines : Your lines are very confident, you got the spirit.

Ghosted Lines : You mostly keep this confidence so don't loose it ! Even if you miss, don't forget that your lines must touch the second point and not go further. As i see, sometimes you don't have the right angle, did you try to rotate in different way your paper ? Or maybe start at a different point. In any case, some practiss and you're good !

Ghosted Planes : If i only check the lines, you did some progress. However i think (it's my opinion for this thing) you should try to draw more extreme planes. For example : some angle should be between 15° and 40°. It may forces you to focus on one single line while there's mutiples lines around.

Table of Ellipses : For the majority, i would say that : sometimes you're out of the table, sometimes you're in. I thinks there's nothing wrong in it since you clearly looking for to get used to the movement of the shoulder. Keep working on it you got this !

Funnels : Your ellipses are pretty regular and there's nothing much i can say about that. You can still try to get the degree of your ellipses to increase as you move outwards from the center. But like the lesson said, it's optionnal so you did well :)

Planes of Ellipses : I can't tell if it's hesitation or an other problem but on very hard angle you struggle a lot. I'm not worried about that either because over time you will succeed

Plotted Perspective : optionnal : Maybe you can try to flatten some cubes so you can see how they act with the vanishing point. You can also move the horizontal line lower or up for the sames reasons.

Rough Perspective : From my point of view, you need to do more ghosting lines before actually put down your pen on your paper. If you still struggle with it, i suggest that you watch more plotted perspective (you don't have to do them), then use your finger, hand or arm as an indicator (like a ruler). It will probably help you to imagine the line. Tips : once you draw the first square, look if the bottom of the cube has the same form. If the front is a square but the bottom is a flat cube, there's a problem.

Rotated Box : Actually, you understand this exercice and what to do. My suggestion would be to imagine an circle or ellipses as the box rotate. If the results should look like a circle, then imagine a circle in your mind. But your fine so you don't need to do this exercice again right now.

Organic Perspective : I'm going to be honest, i don't know what to say because i find this exercice very difficult. I'm sorry to say that i will ask someone else for a critique :x But anyway, the 250 box challenge can really help you !

Conclusion: you got the right mindset and mostly need practiss and a little work on your imagination. Keep trying, i believe in you ;)

PS: sorry for my english, i did my best.

Next Steps:

As a warm up, do some ghosted planes so you work on your lines and. If you really want to work on it, i would request 1 extra page or a half. Don't forget to draw mutiples variations of planes ! ;D

After your warm up, i suggest you to do 1 more rough perspective. As usual, imagine the line like you're used too then use your hand or arm to check. It will help your imagine each line without actually drawing it. You'll see if you mostly have the right angle. Warning ! Use this method only to verifie the angle and remember it is just suppose to help you imagine the line without a ruler. Because you're not using a straight "tool", it forces you to work by imagination.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

thank you and donr worry about the English, you did very well good job!!

i highly appreciate your critique i do hesitate sometimes when I ghost my lines. it's pretty hard but ill make sure to practice more. im tackling the 250 box challenge now and I gotta say its quite something I'm confused but trying my best haha

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

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.
