Hi Drego,

Similarly to the 250 box challenge, you'll be using line extensions to check your ellipse alignments (in the first section) as well as your perspective estimations (in the second section) and gradually improve them by iteration and using the extensions to self-critique.

It is necessary to go though many reps to develop an intuitive sense for how to draw a cylinder (or a square plane, for the boxed cylinders) in any orientation, proportion, or rate of foreshortening you choose. This will come in very handy for the hard surface constructions in lesson 6 and 7.

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

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.
