Hi Tofu,

Here are my 10 + 1 additional boxes:

Thank you so much for the thoughtful critique and encouragement. I guess I thought the instructions said to avoid dramatic foreshortening by making each Y so that the resulting angles are 90 degrees or greater. Anyway, hopefully this is better! I'm in it for the long haul & have no desire to move forward with un-addressed issues, so I look forward to your honest feedback. Thanks again; really appreciate what you & all the teachers do here at DAB.

These are looking great, I'm glad you can shift your rates of foreshortening when you need too.

Also no worries, everyone misunderstands instructions from time to time. For clarity when creating your Y the rate of foreshortening doesn't really change until you add at least one more line and begin to set your vanishing points in stone.

Anyways, I have no problem moving you forward now. These boxes are looking great and you'll continue to improve and become more consistent as you build up mileage.

Keep practicing previous boxes and exercises as warm ups and good luck in lesson 2!

Next Steps:

Move on to lesson 2.

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

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.
