Firstly, congrats on completing the first Lesson!

The massive amount of improvement on the second pages of the same exercise really strikes out. Good job with that.

  1. Lines - The trajectory of your lines is very good. Keep it that way, the accuracy will improve quite quickly.

  2. Ellipses - You pretty much nailed them in every single exercise.

You might want to stick to drawing ellipses vertically in the Table of Ellipses exercise though, or only draw the horizontal ones if the height of that table section is tall enough. (so as to avoid a mess)

  1. Boxes - Again, pretty much nailed it.

It seems sometimes some of your shorter lines might be wobbling a bit in worry of overshooting. Might want to pay a bit of attention to that. Nothing major though.

Overall, excellent work. Definitely one of the best first - first chapters I've seen.

(Revising/warming up with 3 exercises before a day's sessions is critically important. Always do that)

Next Steps:

  1. Move on to the 250 Box Challenge

  2. Make absolutely sure to revise any 3 exercises as warmup for the day's sessions.

Thank you so much, I'll try to do my best!

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.
