Hi! So, I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that your line quality has improved, and the automatic reinforcing issue has been fixed. The bad news is that the convergences are still a little off. In your first page, for example, the one labeled ‘dramatic’, there’s a lot of parallel lines, and quite a lot of diverging ones, too. To fix this, let’s take things a little slower.

Next Steps:

I’d like to see one more page of boxes. The foreshortening should be dramatic, and this time, I’d like you to plot and label each vanishing point (so, place a dot, label it vp1/2/3.) Then, as per usual, ghost towards them, and build your box. Once that’s taken care of, we’ll move on to the next step.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Yup- well done!

Next Steps:

Next, let’s have the vanishing points be just off the page. Not so far off that the lines are parallel, or even close to parallel, just barely off the page. What this means is that you won’t (or rather, can’t) plot or label your VPs, but you will still visualize them. Give me one page of these boxes.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
