Hi Tem,
Good work! Here is a short critique (other members of the community can developp if they wish...):
Lines
You've done a great work, precise and confident.
Ellipses
Great job but you have to increase your acuracy. You may perhaps slow down a little and especially don't forget to ghost before drawing it's very useful! Remember than each side must be tangent to the ellipse.
Boxes
Nice work that will have the opportunity to improve during the 250 box challenge...
Very nice try on rotated boxes!
Next Steps:
Next the 250 box challenge!
Remember to repeat lines and ellipses exercises during warmup during this challenge!
You may need to focus on ghosting more before drawing your ellipses.
Remember that the main thing is to draw confident lines: If it's wobbly, speed up! If it's not accurate, slow down! If you struggle at it, ghost more! ;-)
Congratulations! :-)
Hi Loopkin,
Thanks for the critique, I appreciate you taking the time to give a feedback :)
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.
