Thank you for sending me your revisions, they look much better. I'll be marking this lesson as complete.

Just a couple of points:

  • Since it's only been a day since I've asked for your revisions and you already replied, I assume you must have finished it all very quickly. Our brains actually absorb information much better when it's spaced out throughout several days, if you look to improve, doing your pages over several days instead of in one go will make sure you retain much more of the lesson content in the long run.

  • When drawing circular and elliptical shapes, don't forget to ghost them two times.

  • Lineweight goes a long way! Don't forget to use it to separate your forms and help distinguish them from each other.

Next Steps:

Move on to Lesson 5.

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.
