Hello and thank you so very much for this detailed critique!
I had a day off today and spent some time revisiting the lesson material, studying some plants and then tried my best to draw bigger and better!
I feel much better about these new plants, I tried a plant I have at home and the daisy demo!
Hope youre having a great day!
Hello!
First of all, thank you so much for the feedback, I took a lot from that! For the next boxes, I tried to slow myself down and do not much more than a page a day (on two days I did a little more haha). I also tried my best to get the line convergence not in pairs but in one set, didnt work on every try but I did my best!
I feel a lot better about those 50 boxes than the 250 boxes, so theres that. Even if theres often one odd line going bananas, they are overall much better in my opinion!
Hope they are good enough!

Hello and thank you so much for the feedback!
I have a lot of problems with drawing from my shoulder as I often do doodles and with that Im always using my wrist. So as soon as my mind wanders off just a tiny bit - I resort back to wrist-drawing.
For this re-do I forced myself as good as I could to draw from my shoulder, even if the shorter lines felt incredibly weird to draw like this.
I believe it turned out much better than the last attempts :)
Thank you again and I hope you have a nice day!!
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.
