Hi Gregtalkz i have noticed few problems in your work.

Firstly, the boxes - their edges often do not converge in right directions and lines are arching. I really do recommend you doing 250 boxes challange as that really will help you with both.

Secondly, the shadows - it's a minor mistake, but you want to fill your shadows with solid black. This really helps with deepening the illusion of 3d space

Thirdly, use lineweight - in your organic intersections excersise, it's really hard to discern what's in front and what's not. More lineweight could really help with that.

Overall you made good progress with your "sausages". Have a nice day and keep going.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm going to move on to Lesson 3 now, but I'll keep your critiques in mind. I also did a 250 Box Challenge already. It fixed my incosistency with drawing the box forms better, but there's still always one side of my box that's typically a little off. What are your tips for drawing straighter lines for boxes that converge?

First have to say you are progressing in the right direction. I'm glad you made it this far.

can you send me the 250 box Challenge link. just want to understand why you still made mistakes on your boxes.

Also, the boxes and shapes intersections are not showing where the boxes and shapes intersect. Hard to tell you to continue without understanding of you really grasp the goal of the exercise.

I had to redo mine (before submitting) because i missed a key aspect as well. Try to redo the intersection exercise, the 4 pages but make sure you follow all the instructions. Whatch the videos and read the notes again and you'll see what I mean if not I'll tell you what i mean

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
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.
