Close your eyes and draw exactly what you want to draw in your mind. Completely ignore what comes out on the paper, results are completely irrelevant as it's explained on the Lesson 0 text.
You can check out some of my "for fun" drawings on #well-that-went-poorly channel on discord. Hopefully I can make a daily habit out of it.
This such a great idea with the daily post on the channel since is all about drawing and posting and not get your ego struck or care for the end piece, I will try from today to take up that challenge. Thank you!
If I can get things moving, I'll definitely post some of my stuff to the channel, too!
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.
