community critique

3:14 PM, Thursday May 18th 2023

It's been ten days since I posted my 250 box challenge assignment. I know that it isn't guaranteed to get a critique by the community and that it can take weeks/months. My question is, should I move onto lesson 2 or keep waiting for a critique? I have been drawing, just haven't moved forward with lesson 2.

Hi Melos,

If you want to guarantee critiques, you can check out the unofficial critique exchange program introduced here. https://drawabox.com/lesson/0/3/gettingfeedback

Join our Discord server and read the pinned message in the channel there to see how it works. :)

I actually am a part of the server but somehow never noticed that channel?? Anyhow, I already found it, thanks for sending me there!

Same. I thought the entire discord server was the exchange program and I wasn't aware of the actual program until I'm further into the course

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.
