Awesome, thank you!

I'll work on treasure chests initially then (which I can do digitially), until I get it together to get a better ellipse template -- I don't want to try wheels freehand, and my current template doesn't have enough variety in sizes to do wheels unless I want to do them really smol

And yes, I will subdivide down to the point where I'm constructing the ellipse bounding planes in future. And confidence! More line confidence!

Actually, that's a question. I know we're not supposed to swap pens for doing our line weight, but can I swap pens as long as they are the same line width/type of pen? I find that often I'll start a drawing with a pen that's perfectly happy, but by the time I'm at the line weight stage, it's drying up a little which makes adding line weight much harder, and it would be helpful to swap to a fresh pen of the same type.

Thank you for the critique!

Yeah, the ellipses were hard. I'm looking forward to experimenting with an ellipse guide, but I will keep practicing freehand as well.

Thank you for the critique!

Onwards, to lesson 6!

Oooh, that makes sense. Awesome, thanks!

Sweet, thank you very much!

I think I phrased my question poorly. I mean something more like "for the additional masses that make up the bulk of muscle that make up the hips/shoulders, should the intersection between said mass and the body be an elipse (as in https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/fdffcb3a.jpg) or should it be a more amorphous shape that follows the contours of the body (as in the hind leg of https://imgur.com/e0rUlTF)?"

Or does it not matter/depend on what you're doing?

Cool, sounds good. Will do!

Thank you!
