Lesson 2: Contour Lines, Texture and Construction

Thanks for great classes.
The biggest problem I can tell is in your dissections exercise where you drew the cross sections in the wrong places. You need to think about how the sausage exists in 3D space and which cross sections you can see from where you're looking at it.
Next Steps:
Redo the dissections exercise but this time be aware of which cross sections are visible and which are not.
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.
