Thank you very much for your feedback. I attach requested revision (with and without line weight, and missing funnels (I'm sure they were there throughout holidays?).

Just a quick question regarding adding weight to the lines. Should I do it following ghosting method, or do it more carefully? I did it with ghosting to avoid wobbling, but because some lines were uneven, they tended to diverge.

I have checked the attached revisions, good job! The funnel exercise looks okay as well.

For the line weight, I think what you did is alright! I have actually encountered this issue on my own exercise, but keep in mind that the point of adding (subtle) line weight is to imply the silhouette of the box so that it looks much clearer to the viewer, so as long as the superimposing line/extra line weight that you drew covers about 3/4 of the initial line, I think that's enough to notice it. It doesn't have to be perfect so it's alright if it diverges a little :D

I hope this answers your question and good luck on your next lesson!

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.
