That's a very nice piece of work.

You should try to do less on the angle effect of the left park of the desk (in the bottom). It goes too much "up".


Except for that, as I said, you did pretty much of a well done!
I appreciated giving you this comment and I liked viewing what you've done :3

*hug*

*sigh* This was supposed to be a reply to you, but FA said "Nuh-uh!" So here we go again.

Actually, the left part of the desk matches up with the left vanishing point, I checked it a few times. I think one problem is I forgot to put in a line at the left front, to give an idea of how the trim comes out. I also should have done a vertical "thickness" line on the left side of those drawers. Ah, well. Next time.

First:

Thanks for replying me! ^w^

Then:

It's also nice you saw where you did wrong! I'm sure there is the potential to make something looks perfect with your kind of work!
I'm behind you! Keep going! :3

*tickle the ears*

Hee! I dunno about perfect, 'cuz perfect is boring. What my real goal is, is to blow myself away. So what I just did on this piece, I gotta have the same level of quality on everything, at minimum.

FFFFFUCK


damn :< That's good!


didja use a ruler?

Hell, yes! No way I'm getting lines like that freehand. We're encouraged to use rulers as much as we can for most things, although I've stopped using mechanical pencil to do my layouts and went back to good old HB.

BuhDAMN

Ba-DUM-bum!

What is wrong with mechanical pencil?

Fixed width, there's very little variance in line weight. Better to use a very sharp "real" pencil instead, there's more opportunity to vary lines on the fly. My layout prof, who's also a working animator, recommends regular pencils over mechanical.

Plus, the leads don't break nearly so easy.

True, rulers tend to chew throught them quite a bit. But I never was too conscerned with line width, only having as small a point as possible to fit in the maximum detail...like this pic I drew a few years ago.

I know the left front tire is huge, I didn't notice until I had finished. I was to busy with blades of grass and specks of mica in the rocks.

Yeah, but you trap yourself that way. Things further away have less detail, so if you put a lot of detail into the midground, you have to put a lot more into the foreground. But you still need to ease back in the background. If you have detail like that at all levels, then the pic ends up looking flat. For instance, I look at the level of detail on those tire treads, and my brain realizes I shouldn't see that much unless I was only a few feet from the tire itself.

Don't knock yourself out for nothing on stuff like that.

Good advise...advise I never got in MY art classes...

Perspective with objects is easy...perspective with people is HARD!

Working on that, too.

I will never get the hang of foreshortening...

Haven't done a lot of foreshortening, although it's pretty much impossible to draw a body without it. Something always faces towards you.

True, but making it look natural and not like a manga is what's hard.

So what's wrong with manga? Sure, if you're talking Pokemon, but a lot of manga has seriously amazing anatomy.

I'm talking about extreme persespectives...Like a person sitting on a bench with one hand on the sitting area. The camera is level with the seat, and appears to be only a foot from the bench. The person's hand ends up looking like it's half the size of his body. Do you see what I'm talking about?

Well, extreme perspectives always end up a bit distorted no matter what you do. Honestly, I think only experience and personal preference will really deal with that.
