Hi, ItsMartin. Just took a look at your exercises and, while they're overall good, there's a few aspects you should pay more attention in order to improve.

Your lines are noticeably arching. This can happen when you're not using the motion of the shoulder to draw. If you mix some elbow motion, the lines tend to arch.

On your ghosted planes you didn't plot the inner lines. Always place dots before drawing each line, as this will work as a goal to draw your line to. Having goals ike this can make you notice your mistakes better and help you improve.

One thing I noticed on your ellipses is that you're not drawing through them. Always go another time over each ellipse. On your funnels exercise, some of your ellipses are not well aligned to the minor axis (central line).

While your rotated boxes are overall good, you could have shaded the sides better. Hatching should be done consciously. Each line you draw during hatching is a line your practice. In this exercise I also noticed that in some occasions you wen over the same lines more than once. Plot your lines with dots, ghost them well and draw each one only once.

Your last exercise is also good. It has a nice composition and you took the risk in overlapping some of the boxes. One think you could have done was slightly increase the line weight of the overlapping lines in order to highlight that they are in front.

Good job in this lesson and good luck on the next ones.

Next Steps:

250 boxes challenge.

Hello Pedro. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. In rotated boxes I got kinda lost and I was guessing the lines instead of thinking about them. Next time I will get a break and go back with a fresh mindset. Also from now I will do my every construction line with dots first, then ghosting.

Thank you once again, you helped me a ton!

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.
