Overall the lesson looks pretty good. But your rotated boxes really needs some work. I do reccomend going to the 250 box challenge but try to push yourself and start drawing boxes from different perspectives. You can even use the y-method for creating boxes. My main advice is to jump out your comfort zone.

Regarding your ellipses remember to use your shoulders and don't hesitate. If you feel like your going to miss your target its better to miss it and make a decent ellipse because the whole point is to make confidence in your lines. Other than that make sure you keep working on the ghosting method and you'll be good.

Thanks for the advice! I had the same self-critique of my boxes and ellipses as well, but yeah I'll move on to the challenge and practice boxes and drawing with my shoulder on the side. thanks again!

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
