Hi Quad

Your ghosted lines are a bit different from the other approaches. But you seem to have fun and that's what matters.

You did a really nice job on the rotated boxes challenge and this one is not easy to keep as round.

A bit more variation at the last organic perspectives would be nice but I guess you'll be have a lot of experiencing with boxes at the 250 Box Challenge.

Have fun!

Thanks for the critique Verounsen! I'll practice Organic Perspectives more during my 15-minute warmups.

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.
