Can I recommend looking at Aaron Blaises animal tutorials. He runs the creatureartteacher.com site.

He has lots of things on offer at the moment due to lockdown. Animals is his big thing ( he worked on the Lion King ) with a big fcous on anatomy.

I have paid for a year of full membership and feel I have had my money's worth in less then a month ( done 4 courses ).

Just a suggestion.

Hello, Scoobyclub:

I totally agree your suggestion,

actually, I am taking those courses now, too.

But when I am doing the assignments of drawabox,

I am trying to use the techniques introduced here only.

But now I found lesson 5 is really hard if I only use techniques which introduced here.

So, what I am tring to do now is combining the techniques of both courses.

Hope I can get nice result eventually :)

Cool. I'm not sure I will get that far but we'll see.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
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.
