Hello,
here's the critique:
Arrows: edges look a bit sketchy, make sure you use ghosting & confident lines when adding extra lineweight
Contour ellipses: you prioritize hitting edges instead of confident lines - getting confident ellipse in is more important (as accuracy will improve with practice)
Contour curves: mostly OK, just ends of some of them are sketchy
Textures: OK
Dissections: OK
Intersection: OK
Organic Intersection: mostly OK, though contours once again do not look confident
I think you can move on to next lesson, though in your warm ups do keep in minds to focus on line confidence
Good luck in your art journey!
Next Steps:
Lesson 3
thanks for the critique, which of the exercises can i do to improve line confidence?
I think the best ones are these (just keep in mind to prioritize smooth lines over accuracy):
Ellipses in planes - you get to practice straight lines and ellipses, though lines are short
Ghosting long lines
Ghosting curves (place 3 points randomly, then try connecting them with a smooth curve in single motion)
oh ok thanks for the advice
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
