Goodmorning everyone. I ended the challenge in the 250 boxes. I'm glad I did it more because it's unusual for me to be able to finish something so long, so I'm glad of this, despite having taken about 1hr per page and, on average, 2 pages per day (so finishing in little more than 2 weeks). I hope the timing is right and it didn't take too long

However, I am not sure that I did the exercise in the correct method. I followed the video but I'm afraid I didn't play it correctly (also because I had some uncertainty when translating the videos into my language).

I did it like this:

1 I made the four points and "joined" them forming the Y.

2 On each arm of the Y I pulled a line in a different direction.

3 I tried to pull the remaining lines trying to make them converge at the point where, more or less, I thought it was the vanishing point.

Is the procedure correct?

Gotcha. Thanks for your comment, I feel a little more peaceful.

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.
