Thank you so much! Your critique is awesome and very well organized!

Next time I will make my post a little better organized. Thank you for still going through it.

Using a tablet is introducing some wobble but my posture isn't great. I'll work on that. I've already completed the 250 box challenge and comparing the first set and last set the wobbling is significantly less.

Ellipses are very difficult but I'll add them to my warm-ups to get better at them like you suggested.

I have a question, should I post the 250 box challenge here?

Thank you so much for your critique and time! :D

Hi Kioki,

No problem.

You can submit your 250 box challenge if you like. Just click submit homework for review here: https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes

Just keep in mind some critiquers may again point out the fact you are doing the exercises digitally (and so may not want to critique).

I'd say keep pushing ahead though. Your goal is to get more comfortable using your cintiq, so just use the exercises going forward as a way to do that.

Also don't forget the 50/50 rule and do some fun/non-drawabox art on your tablet as well :)

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.
