These are definitely marking steps forwards. There's still plenty of room for improvement, but I can see that you're applying the points I raised previously, and that you're adhering more closely to the head construction technique I shared previously. As such, I am going to mark this lesson as complete.

Over the next several months, I'm going to be pushing forward with an overhaul of the videos and lesson material - for the most part that means taking what I'm already sharing with students in my critiques, and formalizing it all into the lesson material which thus far hasn't been able to reflect all that I've learned by giving students their feedback. The head construction approach is a good sign of this.

While I have shared all of these things with you in the feedback you've received thus far, when I actually reach Lesson 5 in my overhaul, I'll be able to present it all in a more cohesive manner. I recommend that at that time, you read over and watch the new material, as it should help further support what I've shared with you already. For now though, just keep practicing this stuff on your own, and continue to reflect on the feedback you've received.

Next Steps:

Move onto the 250 cylinder challenge, which is a prerequisite for lesson 6.

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Thanks and sounds good! If you want feedback on the learning material prior to release I'd be happy to take a look assuming you do some sort of "field testing" before releasing material. Though I guess your multiple rounds of critiques for students in lesson 5 would already have been plenty of feedback on the teaching material.

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.
