    Hi, I wanted to take this opportunity to say something that is bothering me when making the leaves/petals, which is getting stuck on the flow line like the one I sent as a reference because I'm like: "To make this petal at this angle, I just do this, this line here and that's it" as if I were just stacking brick by brick in a real construction. I don't know if I just have to follow the recipe or if I have to think about how it flows in space, its thickness, observe how the others, imagine the invisible part of it and so on.

    like a cooking recipe, I just follow what's there or I can do it my way without leaving aside the recipe.

    Sorry for the long text and thanks for the feedback and attention

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.
