I'm having issues utilizing the Y-method when drawing these boxes. I've only just got started into the challenge proper, however my boxes are coming out really lopsided and ultimately just wrong. I know it's not supposed to be perfect, especially not at first but I feel as if I'm way off. I've tried following the instructions multiple times but it seems it hasn't clicked yet. Any advice or methods to help with this?
We would likely be able to give better advice if you provided examples of your work. Without that, just all that can really be said is to make sure all the angles in your Y are greater than 90 and to place your dots more carefully.
Be kind to yourself, don't stress, do your best to keep the goals laid out in the videos in mind as you go along. It takes time. Hang in there.
Discord could provide more immediate advice for you.
Oh sorry I felt like I was forgetting something. I've been trying to do my best with it but it really does feel like I'm missing something or not completely understanding how to do this. Here's an example of my work from earlier
HI! Looking into yor exercise i think that your problem may be that te extension of the lines you do after the Y axis aren't extended to the vanishing point, but they spread away.
I mean, if you draw the extension of your lines, they might to connect in some point, but i think that if you do it, the won`t.
An example of it is the left axis of your box n16, the up and middle ones will connect at some point, but the bottom one won´t.
Try to extend your lines with different colours and you will see it better.
Hope this will help you, Kisses :)
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.
