I agree with this critique. A few additional comments: your boxes looked great! However, some of your exercises had a lot of empty space where you could have added more. The plotted perspective is the most obvious example of this. Make sure you're filling the page to get the most out of the exercise. You did a much better job with the organic perspective exercise filling-the-box wise. Similarly, in your line-drawing exercises and your plane exercises, most of the lines were the same length. Work on challenging yourself by varying up the lines. It's great if you can draw one length of line really well, but how do you do with tiny lines? Or really long lines that cover most of the page? Look for ways to vary it up that way you are sharpening multiple skills at once.

Best of luck with the box challenge.

Thank you Weijak and Sevey 13! Since I did not expect to get more answers to my post, I already moved on, but I am definitly going to implement your suggestions now that I red them, thank you :D.

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.
