I didn't find much use for either in lesson 6 but the ellipse guide at a minimum is very useful for the wheel challenge and beyond. Since you're taking the official critique route, you should be aware that if you opt not to buy an ellipse guide, you might be asked to redo part of the wheel challenge or lesson 7 if your ellipses aren't tight enough.
Thanks for the reply! I decided to get them in the end, since I will be forced to learn a new tool and I can focus on the meat of the exercises and not have to worry about my elipses looking like crap.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
