Well, there is a lot to say to keep this as short as possible, why did you start drawing? if I had to guess because you had fun with it.

Although drawbox has a pretty rigorous method of teaching you the fundamentals, it is still about drawing at the end of the day.

I urge you to find the fun in all the exercises you do, doing lesson 3, draw plants in your free time, observe leaves in real life. Follow the instructions in lessons like instructed but always do them in a way, where you do not hate your life.

Remember drawing takes practice and patience, be kind to yourself and enjoy yourself , and I am sure you will do just fine.Hope this helps

Cheers,

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.
