Hi BIGSILLYPUPPY,
I took a look over your submission and I see a lot of good things:
-
Great job with the lines. I do not see a lot of wobble which means you are drawing confidently! Keep in mind that confidence > accuracy at this stage.
-
No repeating of lines either, that is good.
-
The ellipses are well done, and only drawn through 1-2 times.
A piece of feedback:
- For the rotated boxes, many of the boxes on the fringe stop rotating. It is a challenging exercise though, so good work regardless.
Next Steps:
250 box challenge, I believe!

Hi BigSillyPuppy,
I can see you have worked hard on lesson 1 & on the whole you have done a good job.
The 1 exception is the Rotated Boxes exercise. I am going to ask you to go back & review the notes for this one & repeat the exercise. You will see in the notes that you are asked to add 2 boxes either side of the centre box so you have 5 across vertically & horizontally. Your boxes are pretty funky but this is not what you are being asked to do.
I agree with the other comments below.
Next Steps:
Please repeat the Rotated Boxes exercise with the correct number of boxes. Once you have this completed please resubmit.

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
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.
