Hello!

This took a while to finish, but I'm finally done with Lesson 1 :)

I accidentally made two pages of funnels. I got the numbers mixed up and realized just now.

I marked with red a few notes and errors I noticed (ex., funnels, and rough perspective).

Please let me know your opinions and if there are some areas where I can improve :)

Thank you all,

Haithne

Good morning, good afternoon or good night. I will criticize your homework.

Superimposed lines

Its lines are good and smooth, but there are some deviations in trajectory. However, there is no fraying on both sides.

Ghosted lines

Its lines have good precision (considering the exercise levels), the ghosting is visible and they are smooth. Good job.

Ghost planes

Great like the previous exercise.

Table of ellipses

The ellipses are smooth and well placed, but sometimes you don't get to draw the ellipses twice as complete.

Ellipses in planes

Now you have drawn through the ellipses correctly and are complying with the exercise guidelines.

Funnels

Excellent. It's good to see that you are aware of your mistakes.

Plotted perspective

Not bad

Rough perspective

It's ok, but the lines didn't need to be extended beyond the horizon line.

Rotated boxes

You forgot to draw the 4 end boxes (absolute corners).

Organic perspective

The use of ghosting is noticeable and the convergences are ok.

Next Steps:

Complete the rotated boxes exercise

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

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.
