The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word alien is insect. They look fascinating and weird and they look like they belong to an entirely different planet especially the segmented ones. That's why for the prompt (cosmic confectionary), I thought about making a jar of assorted candies made of caramelized alien insects but I got sidetracked and drew individual insects instead. Still, I had fun drawing them and I now have a newfound interest in insects!

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.
