Hmm. It seems that though you have understood what needs to be done you lack practice. As such you may move forward for now but make it an absolute point to practice drawing ellipses each day as warmup. Another thing i'd like to point out is that you are drawing way too many superimpositions. Limit them to two. Also keep your primary focus on getting a smooth and consistent lines then move towards drawing an ellipse which sits perfectly within the plane. I'll share a photo on discord about how you can make better ellipses.

Next Steps:

Though you may move forward towards the 250 boxes challenge practice drawing ellipses each day as warmup before starting the challenge.

Alright, I understand. I'll make sure to practice elipses in planes before drawing!

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
