Don't worry, it happens. I can tell you are drawing through your ellipses a couple of times, but you miss quite a few interior edges of the plane. Good job taking up the entire page space! You will get better at drawing ellipses and hitting all four edges of your plane with meaningful practice over time. Some of your lines that make up the planes are a bit wobbly. Make sure you are using your shoulder and are drawing your line fast. Drawing slow may result in these wobbly lines. Remember a wobbly line is always a mistake. Make sure that you focus on a confident line using your shoulder and you are drawing fast. It can be difficult to get used to, but I know you can do it! I changed the requested revisions listed above, please see them below.

Same man same!

Superimposed lines - These are coming along much better. Many of your lines are getting the idea correct. A few of your lines appear to have multiple starting points. Drawing is not a race, therefore it is okay to take a few breaths before you draw every line. For your benefit in the future, please try to look at your pen tip and align it to the starting point before you draw any superimposed line.

Ghosted lines - Many of your ghosted lines hit the mark, others not so much. Whenever you draw a line and practice your ghosting, you should make sure that you are always hitting your initial starting point. Many of your lines here do not hit any of the two points you have drawn. It is okay to take a longer time to ghost your lines.

Planes - These are looking good. Nice job trying a variety of different planes. It appears you are hitting many of the initial starting points, but others do not hit the initial starting points. On the up side many of your lines are looking good. I don't see much of a wobbly. This is great that you are using your arm!

Plotted perspective - This is looking good, nice job. All I can say is that in the future you may want to make sure when you plot your lines back to the vanishing point that you make sure you are hitting that exact vp. You appear to go over the vp in many of your lines. This makes it difficult to see where the exact vanishing points lie.

Organic perspective - You will get much better at this after the 250 box challenge. Some of your boxes are a bit small and appear wobbly. It is difficult when working within the page requirements, but make sure you are using your shoulder when drawing. It appears you may not have been using your shoulder when you did this.

In many places you have improved and other areas I pointed out what can help you to improve. That is why I only want one thing from you. Please see the next steps below.

Next Steps:

Next Steps:

1 page of organic perspective. Make sure you are using your arm and that you take the time to ghost and align your pen tip to the initial starting point. Do this each time you ghost your line and when you draw your line.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

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.
