So I just did the leaf exercise half page, and I understand the do not grind policy, but I am wondering if I should redo them.
I know part of it was me getting in my own head. You can literally see the negative self-talk interfering with my ability as I go through the exercise.
I can continue on if that is still the best course of action. Don't mean to bother you just frustrated that I feel like I am getting worse not better.
Hello Tmmilea.
Thank you for replying to me with your revisions, don't worry about whether or not you should redo any exercises, in the case that it is necessary, think of it as an addition to your previous work rather than a redo, you're not cleaning the slate and starting over, you're doing more work in order to address mistakes or any issues present in order to develop your skills further.
You also don't need to worry and try to judge the quality of your own work, I and the other TAs will let you know when it is needed or not as you work through this course.
Try to keep in mind too that improvement is not always linear, oftentimes it can feel like a one step forward, two steps back kind of deal.
So! All of this said, I will only be checking your work until the full set of revisions has been provided. Please reply to me with your full revision pages.
Next Steps:
Please reply with the remaining revisions requested.
Ok thanks for the reply. Was in not great headspace while doing the exercise and that came out in the work and how I felt about it. Will soldier on the rest of the revisions after some 50% time
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.
