Hi! Exercises should go in the warm up pool only after a Lesson has been marked as completed.
Submit your best attempt I would say, but next time it's better waiting for the critique before doing extra pages.
Got it, thanks!
So since I've just been working through Lesson 01 over the course of this past week, should I just not be doing warmups each day? (Since there aren't any for the "pool" yet?) To me that seems counterintuitive.
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.
