Thank you a lot for the in-depth analysis and examples, they really opened my eyes to how to make the construction more 3D! I'll keep what you said in mind when I move on to Lesson 5 and when I construct insects and arachnids for my next warmups!

Thank you so much for your analysis!! I'll read the instructions more carefully in the next lesson, make sure to revise it between the homeworks, and apply everything you said here that fits in Lesson 4 (like making the lines bolder, sticking to the lines I put first even if they're not that great, and other things)!

Thank you so much for your analysis! I'll look out for the points you mentioned I didn't do well while I'm doing the box challenge!

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
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.
