Thank's Irshad for your reply!

I understand what you're saying and you're absolutely right, submitting my old work would be irrelevant since it dates from August 2018! I'm sure that starting over would be profitable, but wouldn't it also be like grinding the exercises? Maybe better to move on lesson 5 and I'm afraid of disgusting myself if I would have to redo the 250 box challenge! One day maybe... for now I've almost finished the 250 cylinder challenge and lesson 4...

Otherwise, where can we see how many credits cost a lesson?

Anyway thank you very much for all the amazing free content you provide!

Grinding is doing something over and over again until you feel satisfied by some arbitrary basis. When students who've made it a ways through decide to go back to the beginning, they still follow the assigned numbers of pages, so it doesn't fall under that category. The 250 box challenge itself is a repetitive exercise, but it has a clear finish line.

As to how much each lesson costs, you can see the prices by going to the submit page and selecting the different lessons with the "Submit for Official Critique" option toggled. That said, it's a pretty straightforward breakdown - Lessons 1 and as well as the box challenge, cylinder challenge and wheel challenges are all 1 credit each. Everything else (including the texture and treasure chest challenges, both of which are optional), are 2 credits each.

OK for the grinding, I understand.

OK for the cost, I've found it. If you don't mind, I may point out that this is not very readable...

Thank's again, everything is clear now! :-)

For the bit about the readability, can you elaborate? Do you mean the "COSTS 1 CREDIT" in the graphic itself?

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.
