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.

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?

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.

I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
