Congratulations on making it through lesson 1!
Overall I think you did well, just remember to not stop using the skills you learned in past lessons when you move on to new ones! For example, your lines with the rough perpective and organic perspective are a bit wobbly. Try remembering to use earlier exercises as warmups before starting new material. I think if you practiced ghosting planes and/or shadowing lines a few times before starting the new activities, your lines in the rough perspective could've be straighter. One thing Uncomfortable seems to emphasize is that each line matters, so even though you're moving on to more complicated concepts, remember to be intentional with each line.
Good job and have fun with the 250 box challenge!
Next Steps:
Start 250 box challenge.
Use lesson 1 exercises to do warmups at the beginning of drawing sessions. Use 2-3 exercises for apprx 15 min.
Have fun!
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.
