Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for lesson 2.

First of all The Thinking in 3d section of lesson 2: You did well in the organic arrows exercise , even though some of the arrows are constructed weirdly but you seem to have followed the instructions very well for the most part.

In the organic forms exercise a lot of the forms have there contours Flouting arbitrarily and I am not just talking about The Ellipses but also the curves.

Next the texture section of lesson 2: In the Texture analysis I can see a problem with the Density of the textures. I am referring to the fact that you transitioned from dark to light quite fast and you left too much empty space behind. I recommend that you start from the light side and gradually get darker and darker as it might be easier for you to control how dense you need your drawing to be.

As for the dissections: I can see that You drew a lot of your forms instead of drawing the shadow around them, and you are also not transitioning from dark to light in a lot of the textures in this exercise.

Lastly the construction section of lesson 2: You did a good job following the instructions for both exercises and I don't have much to say.

Next Steps:

One page of organic forms with counter curves one page of the texture analysis exercise, and one page of the dissection exercise.

remember do warm ups and to take your time with the exercises as rushing will only get in your way

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Even though you still have some problems in terms of transitioning from light to dark, you will get better at it with practice.

you did a good job with your revision and you can move to Lesson 3, or you can start the 25 texture challenge (although it is optional)

Next Steps:

Your next step is Lesson 3

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.
