Hello PencilPeach, I will try my best to give feedback for your lesson 1 because this is my first time. I'm sorry if my English is crappy. Hope this helps.
Superimposed Lines
Lines look pretty good, but I see that some of your lines have fraying on both ends on the bottom of the pages.
Should place the pen carefully at the start of each line.
Ghosted lines and planes
For both of them, I’ll say you did a fine job. I see no wobbling lines and repeated lines for the ghosted planes. Only one minor problem for your ghosted lines is that few of them curve towards the endpoint in some spots.
Ellipses
Ellipse tables: You did really well keeping the ellipses kept within the bounds. Nice to see them touch each other, without overlapping.
Funnels: Good job trying to keep them aligned to the central minor axis line. The only mistake I see is the ellipses are not inside the funnel shape. Take your time keeping them inside the funnel shape.
Boxes
Plotted perspective: Looks good but some of the boxes have sketchy lines. Also be careful with your lineweight.
Rough perspective: I don’t really see any mistakes.
Organic perspective: Very good. Be careful with your line weight for a few of them, don’t make it too dark.
Rotated Boxes: Very good finishing this difficult lesson. The only mistake I see is that your few boxes aren’t rotating at the bottom right.
I will not reiterate Pencil's feedback, but I will clarify (seeing that what they said is not as clear) their points and give my own thoughts/personal advice:
For the ghosted planes, you should not try to squeeze more planes (i.e. super small ones) into the gaps between bigger ones, as it clutters the page and makes it harder to discern between dots (Your second page looks much less clogged than your first).
For the rough perspectives, your lines wobble more than in the ghosted lines exercise.
For the rotated boxes page, I see you did put in a big attempt to it, but you should try to give all the boxes uniform dimensions and try to plot their relative positions more relatively.
If you're placing down the dots and are wondering how a box might look like, or if you want to see if any pair of dots are correctly placed, put the whole page far away from you (about 50cm or something), then imagine the box. It increases your odds to see if the dots are correctly placed.
Have a nice day.
Next Steps:
You can continue working on long ghosted lines and rough perspective boxes, as well as nailing down the rotated boxes exercise alongside doing other lessons. Don't overwork, though, and remember the 50-50 method.
Thank you for that. I wish could explained better
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.
