    Hi Lalincechelancia,

    I really like the super imposed lines, I can see that you really focus on keep drawing the right way and mabye you're going a little bit slow, it shows on a couple ghosted lines some trembling.

    I'm not sure if it's the pen you're using but, sometimes it doesn't works correctly or you lift the tip before reaching the marked spot.

    You show a lot of improvement when it comes to drawing ellipses, but sometimes the ellipses look like kind of an egg and show more confidence, maybe try ghosting the ellipse a little bit more before you draw it.

    I liked the perspective boxes, and rotated perspective, just try to imagine where the vanishing points are.

    Someone told me long ago that I should see the whole picture, try to imagine every line before I draw it and try to figure out where the vanishing point is, and take my time, don't rush it.

    When it comes to lines, seems to me that you feel confident and don't ghost enough, and with ellipses you're afraid and go a little bit slow and show some wobbling. Looks to me that you have already understand all the exercises and objectives of the lesson, you just need to keep practicing and develop muscle memory.

    Keep up the good work, contragulatios Lalincechelancia.

    Next Steps:

    Warm up with simple exercises like ghosted planes and draw some ellipses, try reaching for the edges and ghost a lot before you draw. Picture the ellipse before you draw it and be confident.

    Hi LALINCECHELANCIA.

    I really appreciate the critique. Some of the points you mention I've already noticed and I'm working on them, some I didn't but I'll be more careful to keep improving.

    Thanks, René.

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.
