Definitely better. There are a few places that could still improve, but as whole you're doing great! You're no longer cutting into forms, your lines carry the same weight, and the forms themselves are feeling solid. I can tell you've taken the points I've raised into consideration. Good job! Now, there are a few things I'd like to point out that hopefully will help improve your work even further:

  • The first thing that stands out to me is this bear you drew. There are spots that, like I've outlined in my previous critique, you've added flat open shapes rather than introducing other 3 dimensional forms and defining their relationships among one another. Make sure you review that section and work on it moving forward.

  • You've placed too many contour curves on this fox so try not to get carried away with that. Remember that piling a ton of them isn't actually beneficial-they suffer from diminishing returns, so you're not really getting much out of them.

  • I've noticed that you've made and attempt at introducing forms within the silhouette on the limbs of this monkey. This is good. The trick really comes down to fitting these pieces snugly with each other and exist with purpose. Think about how these pieces hold the leg together and overall makes it feel more grounded.

  • The same applies when working on the head construction. The forms you introduce onto your base structure should fit together like solving a jigsaw puzzle.

Overall, I think you've improved a great deal and are ready to move on. Just make sure to work on these points moving forward. Feel free to move onto the 250 cylinder challenge.

Thank you so much!! I'm glad to hear that, because it was very much a pain. I'm glad it payed off ^^

Thank you for your tips! I'll come back to them when doing animals again :D

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
