Oh, one more thing - I'm adding this as a separate comment and not an edit just in case you already saw the other reply.
When you do your next drawing:
Include your references
Keep track of how long you spend on the drawing, how many sittings, how much time per sitting, across how many days
Take photos step by step. I'd like to see how you're thinking through the drawing, so seeing each stage of the drawing will help me better grasp your mindset.
Got it! Will do. I will include the sideviews and front views as well. I was wondering why I couldn't edit my comment above until I reloaded the page and saw your new comment. Just to note, I usually break my drawings into 25 minute sessions and a 5 minute break. Pomodoro technique so I don't burn myself out.
Hello Uncomfortable,
Here is the imgur link for my last two cars: https://imgur.com/a/5yPAWXx
I attempted to keep everything in mind with the feedback you provided. I also constantly referenced the instructions you shared with me previously.
Please note that I accidentally messed up the month on the "Model T" vehicle. I meant august 8, not september 9.
I really messed up the lower left side of the model t, I think I underestimated the width and this effected the end result. I attempted to constrain the wheel with the minor axis of the passenger side wheel.
I feel like once I tackled the nissan cube as my third vehicle drawing, I was really able to constrain every line going towards the vanishing points and push my vehicle into 3D space properly. Thanks for recommending more boxy vehicles. I realized that I was also able to constrain the curvy roof towards their respective vanishing points as well.
Remember that when doing critiques, we don't actually worry about students' self-assessments. It's a little late to remind you of this now, since you're about to have the lesson and course marked as complete, but in general it's best to just submit your work and let it stand for itself. The work itself will tell us where you struggled, and whether it was actually significant to what you were meant to learn in the course, or whether it was not such a relevant concern.
I'm very happy with your results here, and I feel you've mostly addressed the points I raised previously. You've been vastly more meticulous in both drawings, and have shown a great deal of care in building out each car with careful attention to ensuring that there is always enough structure to support whatever element you wish to add next.
There is just one issue that still comes up, and it's something I have called out many times. As shown here, you're still drawing some curving lines without the appropriate structure to support it being in place ahead of time. Instead of jumping in with a curved line, you need to be blocking out that structure with straight lines first, then rounding off the corners as needed.
Now, I'm not going to dwell on that - I'll leave it to you to address it yourself, because I have indeed mentioned it in basically every critique I've offered you. Everything else is much better and you're showing far more patience and care through each construction so I'm going to go ahead and mark this lesson, and the course with it, complete.
Congratulations.
I see exactly what you mean. I am going to practice this on its own to get into this important habit.
From the bottom of my heart, thanks for all of the feedback throughout this course!
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.
