Okay, so in general I think you've understood the concepts of the lesson, just one thing, on the levels of the lines, you marked some lines as level 0 when they're level 1. Remember that any confident straight line will be level 1, it will only get to level 0 when it's wobbly.

Here are some of your lines that you didn't mark correctly.

About the lines problem, yeah, it's easier when they're bigger, but it's still important to draw them confident when they're small, so remember to focus on improving this issue through the box challenge, do your best to try to get as many lines as you can to be level 1, and until you can do it don't worry too much about accuracy. First priority is confidence.

That being said, if you go through a chunk of the box challenge and you can't see improvement on your lines you can ping me on discord (@elodin) or send me a message here and we'll look at it again!

Either way like I said you seem to have understood the concepts of the lesson so I'll mark this as complete.

From now on you need to do warmups before every session, so don't forget about them! And make sure you ask any questions you might have. Keep up the good work and good luck on the box challenge!

Next Steps:

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

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.
