I probably underestimated this lesson and it turned out more challenging than expected. I made some additional notes in the imgur post.

Thanks!

Have you done the demos too? If you do, please had them to the post before getting reviewed.

I didn't draw the demos. I usually draw other things for homework submissions because I want to avoid unconsciously just copying the same lines instead of applying the construction.

you have to draw the demos before attempting the homework on all lessons as specified on the assignments part

Uh, where is it written? On the assignment page I'm reading that it is recommended but not mandatory

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.
