The cap is drawn where it is because I'm pretty sure Uncomfortable made a mistake with the ellipse he laid down to place it on. Instead of redrawing the ellipse, he's just placed it as best he can on top. Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding what you mean.

i guess

but for a more extreme example of what i mean look at the first step in the daisy demo.

the ellipses are not placed in the center and i cant figure out why

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but if Meta's on the right track there and you're asking why the ellipses aren't perfectly centered on the minor axis line, it's because I'm not giving myself infinite attempts to nail it. As everyone else only has one shot with a fineliner, I also give myself one shot despite using digital tools. Things don't turn out perfectly, but you keep going - I don't want students to think that imperfect drawing should be scrapped, and to get caught up in the little flaws.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
