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
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.
