I think these are definitely looking much better than before, and as a whole you're demonstrating a stronger grasp of 3D space, and of how these insects are indeed existing within it. I have one small point to make about how you approached the "neck" on the ant at the end of the set. There you bridged between the head and thorax with a 2D shape, when instead you should be building up that structure in between with 3D forms all the way through, as shown here.

Anyway, I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.

Next Steps:

Feel free to move onto lesson 5.

Thank you, I know they're not perfect but that diagram helps and confirms what I thought I have been not connecting in my head for some reason. I'll try even harder in Lesson 5 to always be thinking of 3D space and simple forms that wrap. All the mistakes have made this one my favorite lesson! I've learned a ton from all the extensive critiques and can't wait to start the next one.

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.
