When do I move on to next lesson? (Lesson 1 to 2 to 3 ...etc)

8:28 AM, Friday June 12th 2020

After completing a lesson and submitting them for review (completely, not partially), do we move onto the next lesson immediately or do we wait for the critique and next actionable step?

I'm lost as i HAVE read to move on when you have grasped an understanding of the lesson, but i also want to gain as much as possible from each lesson and bringing in mistakes from previous lessons would deter one from that goal

I'm asking this as I'm just unsure and if the instruction was given in the previous lessons, I didn't see them.

Also mainly because I'm just concerned about bringing mistakes from the previous lessons to the next if i have any (which i probably do)

if we do have to wait, what do you guys/gals do in the meantime? practice your own works/projects ?

What are your thoughts.

Thanks

Basically, do the homework amount > posthomework for critique > do any requested re-dos with advice given (if asked for re-dos) > move on to the next lesson/challenge keeping in mind advice you've been given, and applying this to future warmups and lessons.

while waiting for critique, work on personal projects/fun drawing projects

Hmmm alright,

after posting this i did come across UNCOMFORTABLE's FAQ here .-. a lil bit late sorry

I was actually a lil concerned about what to do during the mean while.

Thanks for affirmation REDHAIREDBOI!

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.
