This question sometimes comes up in discord, and the consensus is that after a long break you should revise the material to make sure you remember everything correctly (memory can play tricks on us) and do longer warm ups.

Thank you very much! I think I was drawing my 200th box when the challenge was revised, it was a little bit too late to aplly the new rules but I watched all the new videos.

Hello! Thank you very much for your critique! Honestly, my motivation to draw hundreds of boxes improved so much when I saw it.
As to arked lines: I'm afraid some of them are definitely somewhat curvy. I try to adress it every warm up though.
Dramatic foreshortening is one of my weakest points for some unknown reason... I hope that hours and hours of drawing boxes will improve it. I think I'll focus solely on dramatic foreshortening on some days.
Thank you again, you're doing a very important job giving critique to people!

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.
