Congratulations on finishing the challenge!

You have shown remarkable improvement in dot placement, VPs alignment and VPs placement. That alone means you can move on to lesson 2, but before you do that, I would like you to do 20 more boxes with these instructions in mind:

  • Your VP alignment, although has improved, is still inaccurate. When you try to align the (inner) corner with existing VPs or otherwise, you can ghost lines (without putting the pen down of course!) to figure out where to put the corners of the box/VP.

  • You can try drawing bigger boxes, as it does put you out of your comfort zone and force you to figure out how to draw boxes accurately. Placing dots with big boxes are actually harder than with small ones.

20 boxes ain't much, but it does help you get the hang of it!

Hey Monte_Cristo666!

Thank you so much for taking the time to critique my boxes, I really appreciate your effort. I will definitely do another 20 boxes ASAP. I really found the inner corners to be the most challenging, I'll try ghosting lines like you suggested and I'll definitely make some bigger boxes. Thanks again!

Hey MONTE_CRISTO_666

Hope you're well. Apologies for taking so long to get back to you, life has been a little mad lately.

Here is my revision for the 250 Box challenge, I tried what you suggested, the back corner is still giving me trouble. I'm going to try do some perspective exercises with a ruler and alternate between freehand exercises to see If I can get a better grip on it. Tygerson also gave me some fantastic advice to try as well.

Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

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.
