Thanks you very much for this detailed critique Uncomfortable.

I need to think in terms of additional construction rather than substractive one. I've been trying to keep proportions as accurate as I can and so I tried correcting the original layed out masses by cutting through them. Maybe a better option is then to er on the smaller side so I can then add additional forms on top when "fixing" the proportions.

Regarding legs / sausages forms your ant leg demo was mind opening for me and I realized I've been doing them wrongly. Maybe this could be added to the lesson 4 page ? (if it is I missed it)

Cheers,

Nico

I have plans for overhauling many small things like this throughout the lessons, but it's going to be a steady process working from Lesson 1. I actually already overhauled the lines and ellipses section, but before I was able to progress further my apartment flooded, forcing me to put my equipment in storage and pause that process. I'll be starting it up again in September.

Wow I hope everything is sorted now and you didn't loose too many things in the process.

The overhauls sounds great. You're doing such an amazing job with this website !

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.
