Yeah I saw the FAQ but was not quite sure of how it applied to my interrogations. Thanks for your enlightment. I guess even if it's not what I have the most fun with, I should definitely force myself to draw from imagination, at least for a portion of my 50% rule time
Hey, thanks for you elaborate answer.
Your experience helps me making more sense of the rule.
I'll definitely try some of your ideas, never thought of taking my own photos to draw but I think I might really like that
I also have some interest in digital drawing, so thanks for your recommandation, I'll check this out !
Thanks a lot. I guess the main focus of the rule is to have fun without putting pressure on oneself, regardless of the way it's achieved.
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.
