This may come across as a bit harsh, but I feel as if you weren't ready for this lesson. Your form intersections show that you're still struggling to internalize certain lessons from L1 and L2. Your lines are overshooting their end points; Your boxes don't all have converging sides; Your ellipses are sloppy and their minor axis doesn't align with the center of your cylinders; You're not adequately using lineweight to separate your forms. I have criticisms of your constructions as well, but many of them stem from incomplete understanding of the fundamentals learned in earlier lessons.

Next Steps:

Redo lessons 1, 2, box challenge and cylinder challenge. With particular attention to the following:

  • Not overshooting your lines

  • Convergence for your boxes and cylinders

  • Improving the general consistency of your ellipses

  • Properly aligning the minor axis for your ellipses

  • Using lineweight to separate and define your forms

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

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.
