Nice confidence! In general, I’ll recommend rotating around your ellipses 2 full times, and maybe spending a liiitle more time ghosting. Moving on to the specific exercises, for the table of ellipses exercise I’ll recommend having the outer bounds be inside of your page (rather than having the edges of it be the bounds), and being a little more mindful of the minor axis in the funnels exercise. This last part is particularly important. The minor axis is meant to cut each ellipse into 2 equal, symmetrical halves, so they cannot be titled.

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah I have problem when it comes to the minor axis, it was hard for me to cut each ellipse into 2 equal. Any tips on how I can improve with the funnels exercise (The minor axis)?

Provided the funnel is drawn correctly (which is a lot easier to do if you draw the outer bounds first (using a plate, or something similar), and then add the minor axis), it’s all a matter of making sure the ellipses are straight, rather than tilted. For my part, it helps to align my hand so that it’s parallel to the minor axis, and looking at it as I ghost, rather than the bounds.

Okej I will try it in my next warm up!

Thanks for the feedback!

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
