Good evening!

That is a lot of hard and good work. You took your time with each box, your lines are confident and mostly accurate. You were quite decent from the start, and you have improved by the end.

One common theme you've probably noticed is that hidden corner and edge leading to the VP. While it's very hard to get it down accurately (even the slightest deviation in any other edge will misalign it), getting it close enough should give you the ideal box for the purposes of drawing. In that sense, missing by a little is ok, going wildly off leads to a non-boxy shape altogether.

Still, as you have shown, practice makes perfect.

Next Steps:

You've improved as I said, and you can expect to improve more as you practice Lesson 1 exercise, and boxes. Yeah, you're not done with them yet! Do a few arbitary ones for accuracy, but also start putting them together in stacks to train your mental accuracy even more!

Feel free to move to Lesson 2!

Thank you for your feedbacks! You're right about the hidden corner and edge, it's quite tricky to handle. I'll keep on practicing :)

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.
