Hi. I'd like to review your lesson and give you some feedback. Overall looks good, but there are some points I want to mention. First, your superimposed lines have a lot of fraying throughout the line. It is a little too much in my opinon but something that should improve with time. I would suggest doing them as a warmup for a while as you go throughout the lessons. Doing this has definitely helped me.

Your elipses and ghosted lines look really good as do your planes. Your plotted perspective and rough perspective pages are also good, with the exception of where it appears you tried to make the lines thicker as you said and it created double lines. I think this will improve with time if you add some exercises as a warm up though. However, good job on those.

For the organic perspective pages, some of the boxes have very dramatic foreshortening which you should try to avoid on this exercise. Also your lines are extending a bit past each corner. I'm not sure if you did this, but I would suggest planing out each line by placing a point and then ghosting the line a few times before laying down the final line. That should help with getting the shape right and not overshooting the corners. I'd really like to see one more page of organic perspective with some improvements though.

Next Steps:

Before I mark this lesson as complete I'd like to see 1 more page of organic perspective where you plan out each line a bit more and have less dramatic perspective Here is good link to check out that should help with that.

I'd also recommend you do a page of ghosted lines and superimposed lines as a warm up beofre you draw every day to help improve accuracy and line control, this is just a suggestion, but I personally think it will help you impove over time if you do this.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hello! Thank you so much for the feedback!

I agree that my lines need to be better, and I'll work on it everyday. Something I forgot to mention is that I'm working on A3 paper, so some lines were really long and resulted in a lot of fraying. So, I'm dividing the paper in half so I can work with the recommended paper size!

Here's the link for the extra homework and warm up

I started the 250 Box Challenge and it helped a lot in understanding perspective, I think my lines are not as curved and the perspective is improving. Though, as I said, I'll keep working on it qand on my frayed lines.

Thank you so much!

No problem! Your oragnic boxes look a lot better! I'll mark the lesson as complete. Good luck on 250 boxes!

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.
