i can not really say i'm proud of the results but at the same time i can not say they are bad (most of them a least).

thank you in advance for the critique!

Grats on getting started!

The two most glaring things were that you didn't cover much of the second page for the funnel exercise and drew a few hovering ellipses in part of the empty space, and that you redid lines you didn't like many times throughout the exercises, sometimes the same line over and over again.

Next Steps:

I would say redo Rotated Boxes and Organic Perspective because there's a lot of scratchiness. plot and ghost your lines, then hit them once and stick with what you get. Draw boxes as part of your warmups focusing on one-and-done lines and confidence. And a complete second page of funnels with ellipses, no floating ones, and then post here when complete :)

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

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.
