Thanks a lot! I really appreciate you taking your time to critique my homework, i was wondering why i was having a hard time to do straight lines, i'm going to keep that in mind, https://imgur.com/a/leOAl3w , i've noticed that taking more time to ghost and not draw the line super fast helps a lot. But oh boy!, wish i could pay you dinner cuz your critique is very well done and very helpful!
Hi there! I'm sorry for the late reply, but I'm glad that I could help!
Thank you for your follow up; these look better! There's still some wobble and some lines are not quite making it to its end point, but that's ok. You're heading in the right path. Keep practicing these lines in your warm-ups, and keep using your shoulder/arm to continue developing that muscle memory. With that said, I'll mark this lesson complete!
Next Steps:
Congratulations on completing lesson 1!
Continue to use these exercises as part of your warm ups (about 10-15 minutes)
Feel free to move onto the 250 box challenge
Don’t forget to take breaks and draw for fun!
Also, now that you’ve completed Lesson 1, I encourage you to critique some Lesson 1 community submissions. Not only will this help the community, but it will also solidify and reinforce your understanding of the material. Of course, this is optional (but we’d be especially grateful!). If you’d like to give it a shot, see this guide that was created by one of our community members on how to go about critiquing Lesson 1: https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ

Consider the following:
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
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.
