Yes it's helps a lot. Not sure if I can post pictures on here but I draw every day and post on my Instagram @draweveryday2022 obviously I have a lot more to learn but it definitely helps. I will probably start the course again and pay for constructive feedback in the near future.
Agreed.
Ha that's funny. I'm on rough perspective now, so not too far behind you and also like you I am enjoying it. For the past 7 or 8 months though I was creating a new drawing every single day so I welcome the break to sprucen up my technical as i was reaching a limit to draw what i actually wanted to create (which was more 3D) So I suppose what I'm saying here is don't think too much about it. You'll get bored eventually and then I guess you will have to start trying to think of something else to do with it haha.
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.
