I feel like this whole lesson turned out pretty well. There was certainly a difficulty jump from the 250 box challenge to this. The textures were probably the hardest, and I have yet to totally get a hang on them, but I guess thats what the 25 texture challenge is for. Thanks for any critique!
I'm just like excercise behind you, so take this with a pinch of salt.
Arrows, quite a few of them look 3D so I think that is a success.
Organic Forms - page 2, the one with the contour lines, seems a little rushed, though you are getting the line that curves through the kidney shape form right every time - I know I struggled to get the nicely centred.
Textures are great and capture the dark to light gradient
Intersecting forms - I think you are following the key guidelines of equilateral shapes, overlapping in sorts of ways and filling the entire page. It is a mixed bag, with some of the shapes looking really sharp and accurate, other not so much. This is exactly what I am finding in my attempt). Bearing in mind we've not really looked at most of these other shapes as part of this course yet, I think this pretty much to be expected. I can't judge the accuracy of the intersections, I am having a lot of trouble with those myself.
Organic form intersection - I've nto done this one yet. All I can say is I think the contours came out better than in your Organic Forms excercise.
Don't know if any of this helps, but it's all I've got.
I appreciate your critique! Sometimes when i tried to add additional line weight to my intersecting forms I forgot to ghost properly or added too much, so they came out a little wonky like you said. I'll try to get more confidence in this area as I move on.
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.
