The tip I can give is for you to take a break from drawing for a week, but another tip that might make drawing more interesting and for you to study different things, and vary it, for example, on one day you study a little about animals, on the another about landscapes and so on, because repeating the same task makes the study very boring and mechanical, besides it is important when you are studying, to focus on understanding the subject, not on making the study look beautiful, since as much The better you understand the subject, the greater your quality will be when applying it to your drawings. Furthermore, I recommend you take some time, even if it's just 10 minutes, to draw whatever comes to mind, without or with some references, focusing on having fun drawing just because you want to draw something, over time, this will help you draw without so much reference, although they are important, but this will allow you to draw what you want, being a really cool way to do it. fun, and taking away some of the burden of having to make beautiful and super well-made drawings, so my recommendation is to try to make the task more fun, and remember that it is important to ask questions about how you can improve and have to correct what you ended up making mistakes, thinking that your mistakes show where you can improve.

I hope this helps you in some way, a hug.

I honestly think taking too long of a break was the biggest cause of this issue even if it was necessary at the time, it was hard jumping back into my studies after, I'm still struggling now but it's gotten better. Yeah I've been neglecting making art for fun so I've been trying to start every session just making what I want and it has helped a bit. I'll keep in mind what you have said. Thank you for the advice.

About taking a break, it's always very difficult to get back into the routine as it was before, so when you come back from a break, you gradually increase your study time, until you go back to studying for the time you normally study, I've been through this problem with taking a break and when I came back it ended up taking a while for me to get used to normal time again, so don't blame yourself if you're not able to study as much after coming back from a break, that's normal, so increase the time a little each day, until the standard time.

Yeah I'll take it little by little and will try to be more patient with myself. Thank you.

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.
