Over All I think you did a really good job. Your rough perspective, organic perspective, and rotated boxes definitely illustrate you're absorbing the major concept of the lesson--getting an eye for perspective. Based on your exercise their is room for improvement when it comes to line quality and confidence (something I’m also working one improving on) which comes across in wobbly lines and feathering in the imposed line exercises. However these decrease as you progress through the exercise, which shows you’re getting better as you practice.

What I would recommend for now is to continue working on your line quality by doing lines and ellipses exercises as warm-ups.

Next Steps:

the official guide says the 250 box challenge is next, and if you want to besides using them as warm up excerises you could gust practice with drawing stright lines and ellipses.

You’re improving but your lines need a little confidence try using shoulder more .Practice straight lines freehand and use shoulder.Your Ellipses are fit in shape but not confident so try ghosting more and draw ellipse while ghosting( not take a pause). Wobbly lines are made because of either we are hesitating or fearing to be not perfect. We are beginner we are tend to make mistakes and learn from it.Another tip don’t grip the pen you see other people and don’t grip it too tight. Try to relax and try to use your full arm. As I see you took the knowledge and used it. If have confusion use discord.

Stay Consistent and Happy Journey!

Next Steps:

Practice these lesson 1 exercises as your warmup like Ghosted Planes with ellipses and 1 point perspective boxes.

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.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
