Hi thank you for taking time out of your day to critique my work It helped a lot.

So I did two of the funnels exercises and finished rotating boxes as you asked me to do. They should be added to my Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes album at the bottom of the page. https://photos.app.goo.gl/wAgodjX8ikUA6y359

For the funnel, I only did another one because I didn't understand what I was doing at first, but I'm slowly understanding what you meant by keeping them snugly.

For the rotating boxes though, I wanted someone to look at my work before I continued working on them, but I gave up on doing it.

The thing that was confusing me the most was getting lost when i was making the boxes. Sometimes when I made a box I would get confused by the line weight and I would start seeing the box in a different angle confusing me. So I started rotating the page for the angles that were confusing me and it helped.

And for my lines I'm still trying to get used to drawing with my whole arm, but I think I'm getting better at it.

Good work! Using your shoulder to draw takes a bit of getting used to, yeah. For what I mentioned about the funnels, I recommend going back to the homework page for it in lesson 1 and reading through it again to clarify some things.

I think you're ready to move on to the 250 box challenge, good luck!

Next Steps:

250 box challenge!

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.
