Extra page of ellipses requested by a fellow artist Benj. Aim was to improve confidence of the lines so i tried to focus on that to the best of my ability. Lines lost much of the accuracy, but Benj raised an important point of leaving the lines as they are instead of slowing down and trying to make them perfect. I repeat this mistake often in 250 boxes challenge, so this feedback was invaluable.
Huzzah! :)
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.
