No it wasn't my intention. 7 the part that's shaded is the side of the box it just looks like its the back of the box. Which is a problem that I've run into that I don't know how to fix. Where it looks one way but I meant it to be another. 3,6,7, and 10 are meant to be boxes that are viewed from the bottom looking up perspective.
This is the orientation that I was going for. Also I circled the back corner of 3,6,7, and 10 to see if that better clarifed the orientation
None of these look like the back corners of the boxes. They all look like front corners closest to the viewer. I think this might be because your lines are still off from one another. Slow down and really look at the direction a line is going in before trying to match it with another. And really ghost that line before drawing it
Next Steps:
10 more with the tips I gave. You’re getting there
I think adding line weight would help with this. Lightly applying it to the outline of the box will show what’s in front and what isn’t
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.
