    I'm not Uncomfy so I can't truly say This is what you do" so if he responds listen to him however personally I feel you may need to ask yourself if you still remember the material you had previously learned. You should also get back into the hobby of doing the exercises

    I seriously appreciate this because i still didnt know why or how contour lines were useful or more accurately how they are related to the thinking in 3d section

    Ok Thanks Uncomfy!

    Hello. Id like to say to say that you did a pretty good job with this however i do have some critiques that could help with your understanding of these subject matters :) (hopefully at least)

    Lines:

    In terms of your Superimposed they arent bad. There is a little bit of minor fraying at the beginning but it could be my eyes playing tricks on me. Otherwise they're smooth and consistent and thats all that matters as of now

    Ghosted lines: nice and clean and actually pretty accurate. They're a couple lines that arch but that could be because the page was getting cluttered if it wasnt arch in the opposite direction consciously. They're also a couple that wobble alittle bit now thats ive noticed but overall not bad

    Ghosted planes: Nice job some do miss their points little bit and some do have a little wobble. But most of the lines are clean and consistent. We can always work on accuracy after we work on clean lines

    Ellipses:

    Tables of Ellipses: i noticed that your ellipses arent hitting the bounds of the tables. Also noticed that your ellipses arent being drawn through at least 2-3 times as this will help you be more confident with your ellipses

    Ellipses in planes: some are floating alittle bit (by that i mean they dont hit all 4 sides of the square/plane) some actually hit little bit too far out the box but overall thumbs up

    Funnels:

    Ocassionally your ellipses wont be cut in halfs by the minor axis/normal vector and while your ellipses arent shifting in their degrees its not a mistake thats noted by uncomfy so i wont count it as one. However at a certain point you should be probably strive for this. Your ellipses also occasionally go outside the bounds of the funnels a little bit.

    Boxes

    Plotted Perspective: there is virtually nothing wrong with these. They dont have any distortion good job

    Rough Perspective: You did good. All the height lines are perpendicular to horizon and width lines parallel. Line correction is good and there was no guessing nice job

    *The Rotated Boxes: virtually everybody struggles with these to at least some degree but dont fret you did the exercises correctly and the best you could all the corners betweens boxes are close and as of my current knowledge at this moment the boxes are actually rotating alittle you did your best

    Organic Perspective: your boxes convergences do sometimes become alittle wonky but overall you did your best and dont worry you will get tons of practice with boxes as you do the 250 box challenge

    you will get tons of practice with these when you do your warmups in general. Im gonna mark this lesson as complete good job mate

    Next Steps:

    i recommend you practice your ellipses for your warmups of course dont stop practicing the others but its good to tackle your weakpoints as of now you should also get acquainted with the instructions of the 250 box challenge (*trust me you dont wanna redraw all 250 of those damn boxes because you didn't know/follow the instructions)

    otherwise always feel free to reread and rewatch lesson material as it will help you absorb material and understand the concepts more

    This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 2 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.

    To be honest i admire your focus you're clearly putting alot of thought into it and taking the time you need in order to get the job done as long as your following the instructions (and not torturing yourself) it should be okay

    Oh that makes sense Thanks Uncomfy!

    Understandable Thank You!

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

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.
