Great job on these! I really like the attention to linework you've put in :)

There are a few boxes where the vanishing point is in the wrong direction. Any time your projection lines come out of a visible box face and converge to a point toward then viewer then it is a malformed box.

By the end of the challenge you seem to have caught on to it. I am only bringing it up here on the remote chance you hadn't actually realized it and just happened to switch your methods. :P

Again, great job! Congratulations on finishing your first DAB challenge! :)

Thank you for the critique :D Yes, I drew the vanishing points in wrong direction in some of them and realized it later. Now I have a better understanding. Thanks a bunch again :)

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.
