Lines
Super Imposed Lines: Good work. Lines are smooth and only fraying at one end, well done. When you practice this exercise in your warmups you can try curved lines too.
Ghosted Lines: Good effort. Couple of little wobbles here and there, but you'll get better with practice.
Ghosted Planes: Good. Second page shows improvement on the first.
Ellipses
Tables of Ellipses: Good job keeping within the bounds, each ellipse touching each other, without overlapping. And you've drawn through each ellipse 2-3 times, good.
Ellipses in Planes: Nice and smooth, good job. Second page looks better than the first, again.
Ellipses in Funnels: Good understanding of the exercise, well done.
Boxes
Plotted Perspective: Good.
Rough Perspective: Good understanding of the exercise. Great job plotting your points and keeping your horizontal lines parallel to the horizon and your verticals perpendicular to the horizon.
Rotated Boxes: Well done keeping your edges close together and drawing through most of the boxes, great work!
Organic Perspective: Good job using scale to create sense of depth here. Some of these are a little bit confusing to look at where your initial curve swoops back on itself and you have a lot of boxes drawn on top of each other. This exercise is easier if you keep your inital curving line very simple. Good work though.
Next Steps:
Congratulations on completing lesson one!
Next is the 250 box challenge.
Use the lesson one exercises for your warmups.
thank you so much for your feedback i truly appreciate it : )
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.
