Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
11:30 PM, Friday November 13th 2020
Lesson 1 done! I'd love any critique, feedback, or advice on how to improve moving forward. Thank you! :)
Superimposed Lines: Looking really good
Ghosted Lines: You have no pages for ghosted lines, please attach.
Ghosted Planes: If you scanned your pages before drawing ellipses please attach.
Ellipses in Planes: Your ellipses look quite confident and smooth, they will be better if you keep practicing.
Tables of Ellipses: You did not draw through some of them, and it looks like you need more time to really feel your shoulder motion. But I like where you are going.
Funnels of Ellipses: Pay attention to how your ellipses get narrower in the middle and gets wider as you get away from the center, this information will be really helpful in further lessons.
Plotted perspective: You don't have the page. Please attach.
Rough perspective: Clean lines and accurate perspective
Rotated Boxes: You don't have it either.
Organic Perspective: Clean and confident lines
You have 5 missing pages, you need to attach them somehow.
Next Steps:
1 filled page of Ghosted Lines
2 filled page of Ghosted Planes
1 page of Rotated Boxes
1 page of Plotted Perspective
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.
