    Thank you so much for the feedback! I will take a way closer look to feedback of lesson 6 like you said and see how I can improve things.

    I am so happy that I found your course around 8-9 months ago, I have improved more in this period then in around 8 years of drawing (I drew mostly as a hobby, but still :D)

    Again, thank you so much!

    Thanks! Glad you like the video and good luck with the boxes! (I actually didn't pass the first time lol)

    Hey! Sorry for the late reply.

    Wow, I feel your pain on this one, it is actually pretty tough for me, I feel sometimes that my brain is exploding, so I can't imagine how hard it can be for you. Yeah I think that tackling one thing at the time and slowing down is a good way to learn if you get way too overwhelmed and anxious. Works for me at least.

    I personally just finished lesson 7 today, at first I really really struggled with ellipse degrees, but after taking some time to rewatch the videos about ellipses I kind of got the hang of it I hope. Even if I fail and have to do revisions it's for the best, I'm here to learn, not pass the exam haha.

    But yeah, I'm kind of pumped to try out drawing vehicles digitally with lazy nezumi after drawing so much on paper and see how it goes on my free time.

    By the way are you planning on finishing drawabox yourself?

    Thank you! Glad you like the video and now that you reminded me of a kebab I got hungry :D

    Thank you:)

    Yes, I've completed the 25 wheel challenge traditionally. Right now I'm doing lesson 7 which is a very big struggle for me traditionally.

    The problem is that I already have 3 ellipse guide templates, but I still can't get the right degree for my box to fit my proportions. So yes, I think that using lazy nezumi with photoshop wouldn't be a big deal for this lesson just so I wouldn't need to use ellipse guides.

    I think you can resubmit your already existing homework that you submitted for lesson 1 and start out that way

    Thank you! The feedback on form intersections was very helpful, because I thought that I was doing something wrong, just couldn't grasp what was it exactly.

    I will keep in mind all the things you said and move on to the next lesson.

    Wow, I didn't expect that haha, I actually thought that I will fail the challenge and will have to do some revisions, thank you so much!

    I will move on to the lesson 6!

    Great! I'll move on to cylinders and take additional notes from this critique.

    Thank you

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.
