Thanks for asking this question, I've been wondering this myself. I feel like there's a Reddit thread discussing the topic in detait, but I'm just not finding it.
- Once you've completed a lesson, one of the best ways to refine your understanding of that material is to help others by critiquing their work. After having done thousands of critiques and having improved immensely over the last few years, I can attest to that myself.*
Oh wait, under the homework section this paragraph pretty much says what I wanted to know. So once you complete a lesson you are invited to critique it. But I'm leaving this so other people who missed it wil find this.
Thanks, I overlooked this.
Also, on a selfish note, I'd like to know how many critiques I have to do to get these spiders off my avatar's face. Really, I'd pay credits just to get that changed.
I haven't been paying much attention to it, but I have 9825 rep., and 2 gift boxes (each box has 2 icons.) I think I got my first one at 500, and the next one at 2500. So, really, one critique should do it, haha.
Edit: and one more at 10000!
Thanks, Benj!
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.
