Lines:

--Ghosted Lines:

Good confident strokes and decent accuracy. Keep the same technique and aim for more consistency, which will naturally come with milage.

--Ghosted Planes:

same as above

Ellipses:

Set up for the ellipses is done quite well. The key things to think about and focus on going forward will be to strive for tighter ellipses. Your consistency is noted throughout all the exercises, which is great. Time is on your side. I would recommned saving either the sheets or at least the pictures for awhile and repeat down the road and then do a comparison to see how you've improved and what are some of the repeated issues that would direct furture focus.

Boxes:

--Plotted Perspective:

Good start, would recommend varying the vanishing points some, but also the horizon line to give you more variety in your practicing. Not really necssary to repeat this exercise unless you find you are struggling with box construction from more extreme angles above and below the eye line.

--Rough Perspective:

Decent line work and overall good estimation of the VP. The variance of the traced back lines demonstrates good estimation. Keep a strong focus on that construction and it will become second nature.

--Rotated Boxes:

Its a strong attempt. A couple of notes, you could rely on near by cues more. Each adjacent box should line up right next to the previous box at both the more proment face and edge, but also on the through lines. This exercise allows you to take some guess work out by just making them parallel then adding the rotation to the far edge. Some of the final row of boxes, while forshortened don't atually rotate as the estimated VP doesn't really shift much.

--Organic Perspective:

Good size variation and display of depth.

Next Steps:

Definitely ready for the 250 box challenge. Keep those estimated VP as you have thus far and you will do well.

Hey SIMMH,

I like your approaches.

You could work on your superimposed lines because they look a bit wobbly.

Your organic perspective boxes and boxes in general are a little bit off but nobody expect that you can draw perfect lines in the right perspective after a few sessions of practice.

Keep going on and you will see that it gets better and better from time.

I think you have to find your confident drawing angle try to draw out of your shoulder. Also you can improve ur ellipses because they look a bit messy try the ghosting method thats written down in the lection.

Dont rush through the exercices take all the time you need to do the exercices, your rotated boxes are looking a bit rushed I know its a difficult exercice but definetly worth to repeat if you want to.

The further you go the more you will see the progress, I hope my critique could help u out. So now you are ready for the second lection I guess and dont forget your warm-up routine. Never give up and have fun.

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.
