Partial Lesson 1 Submission (3 / 10 exercises)

I will continue to work on the funnel, overall I definitely need to practice my ellipses.
Good attempt, but, though the confidence is there, you’re a little too loose. In the table of ellipses exercise, the ellipses need to touch all available sides of the frame. This doesn’t always happen, especially as we tend to prioritize confidence, rather than accuracy, but you still need to aim for it. If you take a look at the example posted on the site, you’ll notice that Uncomfortable’s ellipses are snug- they touch all of the bounds of the frame, and each other, and as a result, there’s no emptiness in the frame. They’re of a similar degree/tilt, too.
I’d like you to do 1 more page of the table of ellipses exercise. Once you do, I’ll look at the remaining 2 exercises.
how do these look?
Not quite.

I’ve taken one of your frames, and highlighted all of the issues I mentioned in my previous comment. Spacing issues are in red. Tilt issues are in blue. Degree issues are in green.
The second image is one I did. I kept the leftmost ellipse the same as yours. You’ll notice that the ellipses touch all of the sides of the frame, and each other (spacing), that their major axis lines (the blue lines) are parallel (tilts), and that their minor axis lines (the green lines) are of the same length (degrees.)
Try again, please.
I gave it another shot and focused on what you're talking about here. How is this?
Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.
Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
