Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
7:43 PM, Sunday April 28th 2024
I was doing daily sessions of 30 minutes of DAB and 30 minutes of the 50% rule. I used the time format DD/MM/YYYY.
Hi, I'm going to give you my feedback on your homework. Are you ready? Let's start!
Lines
At first, your lines are a little arched, but this decreases over time (but there is still a little arching:

Ellipses
Good job drawing them. Even though there are mistakes, I saw that you are aware of them. The smoothness with which you draw the eilpses will improve with practice.
Boxes:
Nothing to complain about. Your ability to draw boxes will improve significantly in the 250 boxes challenge.
Great job! I encourage you to continue DAB, move on to the 250 box challenge and continue with the 50% rule. Don't forget to redo these exercises as a warm-up before drawing.
Next Steps:
250 boxes challenge.
Thank you very much for the feedback! My arched lines have been bothering me for a while now, but i'm focusing on fixing them in my warmups and 250 box challenge.
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.
