generally these are fairly good for the most part, and impressive for a week, though it shows later on with your boxes. the vantage points on your perspective excorsises especially. the vantage point is supposed to be two paralell lines that make a side of a box. i might suggest redoing one page of plotted perspective, especially if you have a ruler for the vantage point lines, which is required for that excorsise, as it looks like you might not have used one either?
also a good tip when drawing boxes in general is knowing they are essentially four sets of paralel lines, and to 'realize' 3d space faster if you rotate the canvas/pages. worked for me after a good amount of practice, which will be the 250 box challenge when you get to it
ghosted planes look pretty good, as do most of the elipses, but another good tip for the future is ghosting more before you put your lines down for them to keep them within, as some are leaking out. rotated boxes and organic perspective are always difficult first try, but its a good idea to try them again 'as a warm up' for future progest and drawabox work later one, likewise with ghosted planes with elipses before doing your 250 box challenge.
some last things is also to keep your lines solid with one stroke, as i can see what seem to be 'continuations' with some lines in some boxe. dont worry too much about archs and slight wobbles for now, as early one confidence is more important. another tip, and i found this out by messing around and watching my sharpie, raising my elbow and having the second knuckle of my pinky as a semi 'anchor point' did wonders for doing full lines. see if it works for you!
Next Steps:
redo one page of plotted perspective with corrected vantage points and submit for review, then we'll get a second opinion for the lessons completion.
Here's the revised plotted perspective, I think it came out much better. I made better use of my ruler than last time.
keep up the good work!
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
