So I'm about 90 boxes in, trying to understand everything, and made a set of slides to show how adding each segment adds bits of information to your box. Turns out, a box can be established in as little as 5 lines. Filling in the rest is like figuring out whodunit in the game of Clue.
Great analysis! And your comparison to solving it like a game of clue is spot on.
this is very helpful. thank you
Very helpful tutorial you put together here. Thank you! Did you happen to post this to the reddit? Could help a lot of folks.
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.
