    Your work is pretty nice, like the colours on them. I feel like once you've reach lesson three on the plants that's where you will be directly practicing drawing flowers that look 3D and really creating something that pops.

    I see your point, I do know of other stuff to learn from like what Frosty have suggested above. I do plan to move on after "graduating" DrawABox, just want to see if anyone attempt to repeat DrawABox and why.

    You're right, I actually didn't do much drawing for fun, I need to start making artwork for myself and have DrawABox somewhere in the background at some point.

    Yeah, I've heard of them. They do seem interesting, although their lack of a feedback community is what bothers me. I'll check them out in my own time.

    But I haven't been repeating the exercises... I should start doing them now.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
