Hello! I'm Joxmarf and I will be reviewing your Lesson 1 :)
Superimposed Lines
I notice that many of your lines have fraying. Drawabox encourages to think of every mark we put on the page. That begins with thinking where to place the pen. Also, some of your lines arc. Remember to, when you start executing the stroke, focus only on the end point and draw confidently enough not to allow your brain to steer the stroke.
Ghosted Lines
Some of your marks wobble. Remember not to focus on accuracy, but on the confidence of your marks. Time and practice will make your lines more accurate. Also, once again, some of your lines arc. Some of your marks wobble. Remember not to focus on accuracy, but on the confidence of your marks. Time and practice will make your lines more accurate. Also, once again, some of your lines arc. Remember to consider from which pivot you are drawing from. If you are engaging your whole arm from the shoulder, you could try to intentionally arc your stroke a litle in the opposite direction to counteract the natural curve.
Ghosted Planes
These are good! Well done.
Table of Ellipses
I see you are drawing through your ellipses two full times, which is great. However, many of them are not evenly shaped. There could be many reasons for this. Remember to ghost mindfully and thoroughly before making the mark with confidence. Overall, these are well done.
Ellipses in Planes
Good job! Your ellipses are drawn with confidence and most of them are touching all the 4 edges of the plane.
Funnels
It is quite difficult, but I would like to note that some of your ellipses are not aligned to the central minor axis line. Also, some ellipses are not touching each other.
Plotted Perspective
Awesome.
Rough Perspective
You are missing a very important part of the exercise: line extensions. Do not move to the box challenge before doing these. Also, remember to always keep ghosting in mind.
Rotated boxes
Well done.
Organic Perspective
Well done. I notice some of the lines of your boxes aren't meeting.
Next Steps:
Don't forget to include this exercises in your warmup pool. Move onto the box challenge. Congrats!
Hi thank you so much for taking the time to go over my homework! I will go back and redo the exercises I need to, thank you!
welcome! don’t redo, as that would be grinding, just add them to your warmup pool and move on :)
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.
