Great work, you're definetly aready for the 250 box challenge.
Now for some crituques:
Lines: Your lines are confident and although they're innacurate at times, you'll get better at it with more practice. I'd like you to focus on keeping your lines as straight as possible without any curvature. Whatever direction your lines curve at, just make sure to draw your lines arched slightly in the opposite direction. Good work tho.
Elipses: You did an awesome job with your ellipses, they are confident, within bounds and are (mostly) not overlapping
Boxes: In the rough persepctive exercise, I see that your lines start getting more wobbly than the previous exercises. Also, make sure that the vertical and horizital axis lines are actually vertical and horizontal, not at an angle. But, your convergenses are quite good, so good job. In the oragnic persspective exercise, some of your boxes are not are of the same size as they go deeper in the 'depth' of the page. An odd 1 or two boxes in the rotated box exercise are not rotating enough, make sure the lines converge more as they roatate.
Good luck in the 250 box challenge
I'm so sorry for getting back to you so late, but just wanted to say thank you for the helpful feedback! As of now I'm 90 boxes in for the 250 box challenge :) Sometimes I still struggle to keep my lines from curving, but have been trying to be more conscious of how I hold my pen and whether or not I'm starting to curve while ghosting. For a good part of lesson 1 I was also struggling to find the best angle to draw from that was comfortable, so I think that definitely contributed to some of the lines (especially in the rough perspective exercise) getting more wobbly and self-conscious. I've gotten a little bit better at finding a good angle, but still need to keep working at it for sure. Thank you again! I hope whatever lesson you're currently on is going well :)
you'll find the correct angle soon enough, tt took me a while as well. What I did was just draw a lot of rough lines on a separate piece of paper; doing this I always got into the 'flow' of drawing straight,confdent lines. I
continue with the challenge, drawing lines will become second nature to you :)
That's a good idea! Thank you! :)
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.
