I love it! I think that everything is a pass except for your confidence in line. I would recommend you to read the lesson about line (especially here where it talk about smooth: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/2).

Next Steps:

Do 1 page of Ghosted Planes but first read carefully the lesson. remember not to worry about accuracy at first.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

thank you so much for the feedback I definitely struggle with line confidence and especially drawing shorter lines from the shoulder. I'll post my homework soon

in this excercise I focused on trying to keep my lines streight and draw them wiftly as well as locking my wrist better thus sacrificing abselute acuracy.I hope its good enough. https://imgur.com/jqCUqZT

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

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.
