Thank you for the opportunity to learn to draw :)

I have completed all the required pages of homework. I found ellipsis most difficult to do. I hope I could still pass and continue with the 250 box challenge.

I am thankful to every comment and advice.

Hello.

Good job on the exercises. I especially like your organic Perspective exercises.

I know you struggled with ellipses but you managed to produce good results.

Keep practicing ????????

Next Steps:

Work on your ellipses daily as practice otherwise proceed to the challenge.

Hi :)

I think you did a great job overall so I'll only comment on stuff I need more work

  1. Some of the lines in the superimposed exercise don't start at the same point, sometimes you start at a little bit higher or lower

  2. The ellipses are good overall but I think in the table of ellipses they're not tightly put together and they need a bit more work

  3. For the funnels, I think the ellipses are the same with but they're getting longer, try changing the with making them larger as you go up or down the funnel

  4. You did a great job on the plotted perspective have no comment on this one

  5. For the rough perspective you did a good job overall, you tried both large and small boxes which is good as the larger ones tend to be harder

  6. You did a great job on the rotated boxes challenge, I see you did two attempts, the first one is probably the one in blue and the second one is in black, you did a great job in correcting the rotation as you go up and down, but you fell into the mistake of not rotating them enough as you go left and right

  7. Have no comment on the Organic boxes one

Overall great attempt, and good luck with the 250 box challenge! It will help alot of these issues

Next Steps:

250 box challenge

Hi,

Great job! Here is my critique.

  1. Superimposed lines the scope of this exercise is getting confident lines, and you did a good job, things to improve is accuracy, but that one will come with practice; some are a bit wobbly, so try to use the shoulder as much as you can. And be careful on the starting point as well.

  2. Ghosted lines Ghosted planes here the accuracy was better, but still some lines are curving, don't worry, too much practice will improve your lines

  3. Table of elipses****Elipses in planes** here again accuracy it's poor lots of gaps in between the ellipses and some you did just one pass, try to take your time when ghosting and be sure you are happy with the ellipse in the air and then without stopping put down the pen do two or three times

4.Funnels some minor axis are a bit tilted off; try to put this exercise in your warmup, and again remember to repass the ellipses so you are sure they are complete.

5.Plotted well-done nothing to say

6.rough perspective wow, you did a ton of pages. I like your determination; the purpose it's to get a rough idea of where to extend the lines, and you did great. The more you do, the more precise you will be.

7.organic perspective nicely done with the size it's clear which box it's in front. The purpose's to get used to rotating boxes organically again practice will be your best friend.

8.Rotated boxes this squashed effect it's due to the different rotation you gave to the right and left side in respect to the top and bottom; try to keep the boxes a bit closer; this will help you. I liked the quality line, though, in my opinion, it's the most challenging exercise, but you did great by going out of your comfort zone.

Congratulations, now it's time for you to go to the 250 challenge.

I suggest you put all these exercises in your warmup routine.

Good Luck

Next Steps:

250 boxes and keep practicing.

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.
