hey law the picturesare high quality enough and looks fine.

when it comes to the lesson I fought you did a great job on it. I'll go through the parts you need to work on.first off some of your ghosted lines are wobbly and not confident and bold as they should be. i don't hope long you have been drawing but it's important to learn this because this is important later on during dab, but don't sweat it you'll have lots of time practicing this with warmups

also your boxes in the rotate boxes exercise are small and sone of the extreme box rotations aren't completed yet . you want to make the boxes big so we can clearly see what your doing right and what you're doing wrong.

overall I fought you did good despite a few mistakes. this is all I because your gonna move on to the 250 box challenge and get a lot of good mileage any way. good job

Next Steps:

go work on your ghost method and never give up

Thank You for the critique

I will work on those weak areas as well as complete the 250 Box challenge.

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.
