    Thank you so much for the response.

    I usually did the line and boxes for the exercises so yeah I think I didn't give ellipses many credits for practice. I guess I should mix it up before doing anything else.

    Now as I'm going more and more complicated object drawing, I want to draw some human bodies. I've tried some(cheap) tuition for it but they were drawing them flat or drawing silhouette for their bodies. I want to make use of 3D drawing techniques that I learned from drawbox. any recommendations for starting out drawing human bodies?

    From your drawbox recommendations is Proko channel, site good to start out figure drawing?

    I didn't recognize the ellipses minor axis were tilted differently than what it was supposed to be. Maybe in my mind I thought that those were the right ellipses to me.

    I tried to fold my paper and see if I'm seeing my true minor axis or not. Because of that I have some red lines that has X in it. I tried to identify if it was halved and after that I fold it to see if it really represented my minor axis.

    I feel like I need more practice drawing freehand ellipses, I guess doing again lesson one ellipses and video that you suggested is alright?

    Anyways thank you for your feedback. I always appreciate it.

    I do think that I went autopilot when I used contour lines before getting the feedback. So I tried to refrain myself from overusing contour lines and adding up some weights.

    Here's my work of 4 animal constructions.

    As always, thank you very much and keep up the great work.

    Here are my drawings after reading your feedbacks.

    I tried my best to implement your feedbacks to my drawings.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
