I'll be doing your critique today

You should be drawing your lines with more confidence, both your lines and ellipses are all wobbly. Remember when ghosting and preparing to make your mark you're allowed to take all the time you need and go at the speed that best lets you get comfortable with the stroke you're making. That way when it comes to actually putting your pen to paper you have the confidence to push forward and understanding of the mark you're making.

You have a pretty good understanding of perspective looking at the organic perspective and rough perspective exercises, but there's always room for improvement. Don't worry about it too much right now though, you'll improve at it with the coming challenges given to you to overcome. Just always review remember the principles of perspective to keep in your back pocket. Nothing wrong with reviewing theory when you need a refresh.

You also completely forgot to do your table of ellipses OR rotated boxes, which is one of the pieces of homework assigned to you. Remember to include and complete ALL of the work you're asked before submitting for critique. None of this course is a race, it's a personal marathon, all of it will still be here when you finish and you won't be done at all once you submit your work anyways. taking a very long time is much more preferred than rushing yourself and doing worse work than you're capable of.

Next Steps:

Please complete the missing Rotated Boxes assignment and submit it here. Or if you have done the work but didn't include it, please send the work you did the first time, then we can continue from there.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Oh and include your Table of ellipses too, I didn't notice you forgot that homework too and that's my mistake.

Hi Allipses,

Thank you so much for your feedback. I've revewed my work and I think I understand why you'd noticed the "wobbliness" ;)

I'll be concentrating on this point in my future exercises.

As for the ellipses, they got skipped out when I made a bulk-upload on imgur: the files were too large. Sorry for that. I scaled them and uploaded again, along with the rotated boxes.

Thank you! :)

Hi Allipses,

I might have replied to the wrong comment, so I'll copy my message here as well:

I'll be concentrating on this point in my future exercises. Do you think I could make some more exercises directed towards exactly this problem?

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.
