had to redo the plane exercise, so I ended up with three instead of two.

You didn’t need to fill all 3, haha. These look really good, by the way. Be careful not to go around your ellipses more than 3 times, though. If you can, if aim for 2. Also, in the funnels exercise, I’d spend a little more time constructing the funnel. If the minor axis isn’t properly centered, the funnel is incorrect by default. This is also the case if your ellipses are tilted. The minor axis needs to cut them into 2 equal, symmetrical halves, and it can’t do that if they’re like that. Just to be safe, I’d like to see one more attempt at the funnels exercise.

i hope they are okay like that. I can't really get a round object for the arcs where I am.

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.
