Lines:

Overall, your lines section was pretty good! Your superimposed lines tended to fray a little bit at the end, but this is to be expected and you kept them consistent at the start. Your ghosted lines and planes all seemed solid and they will only get better as you use them as warm-ups for future exercises.

Ellipses:

Your ellipses were also done well, but they seemed to be a little stiff at times. Remember, it’s definitely worth sacrificing a little bit of accuracy in order to practice with more loose/relaxed pen strokes. Doing this will allow you to be better prepared for future lessons. Aside from that, all of your work was very consistent, especially your funnels!

Boxes:

For your boxes, there were also no underlying issues that I feel need to be addressed. Your plotted perspective was neat and rough perspective, while inaccurate at times, showed a good understanding of what you should be doing, which s important as accuracy will developed better over time. You showed understanding of how boxes move in relation to each other in the rotated boxes exercise, which is really a bonus as that exercise is pretty tricky. Your first set of organic perspective definitely had some troubles, but these all seemed to be addressed in your second sheet. Maybe use these as warm-ups in the future just to make sure that you have all of the concepts down!

Next Steps:

Feel free to move on to the 250 Box Challenge once you get two agrees on this post, and make sure to use any previous lessons that you felt you could improve on as warm-ups. Good job!

Thank you for the critique! You made very good points, I'll keep in mind the loose pen strokes while doing my warm ups with ellipses. Since I tried to have more of a balance between those two factors.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
