Thanks! Yeah I did the elipses around objects thing without much consideration and completely forgot about it til organic intersections. I'm still rather happy with how it came out in the end.

I don't believe I had any issue figuring out where the elipses should be during organic intersections #2, but there were a few messed up executions that ended up warping the perspective in a way I wasn't intending.

Still, though, I feel like I came away from this lesson having a pretty good understanding of the concept now, even if I fail the actual execution from lack of practice.

Splendid. Just keep drawing! without commiting to drawing then you'll get no where! Well done.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
