Yes that works, thanks! I'll give you a little critique now.

  1. I think you did a really great job, and I'm impressed! Generally your lines are arrow-straight and they converge to vanishing points pretty well.

  2. You have a tendency, especially in your later boxes to smush the vanishing point really close to the boxes which makes the perspective very extreme. (e.g., #250). This is okay if you're going for a very dramatic effect, but in general it will feel more natural if the point is off the page or just further away. You did that much more in your first 100 or so. At the same time, doing that can make it harder to visualize the convergence of the lines.

  3. This is somewhat just personal taste, but you may want to play with line weight around the outer edges of the box as it would give the whole thing a better feeling of solidity. It would especially help because you tend to get little accidental ink dots around your hatching (e.g., #175), which compromises the lines a little bit.

Next Steps:

Great work, you're ready to move on to the next lesson!

Yeah, I have some control issues with the line weight, considering that around box #200s I, for the first time, got a pair of fineliners. I'm starting to get a hang of the line weight function the fineliners have abit (heck, I have to now hold them in a 90°-like angle in order for the 0.45 mm fineliners to actually have good ink flow). I'll try experimenting with the line weight. Thanks btw!

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

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.
