Hi, I was crawling through this but I've just finished this challenge.
I hope my line confidence is improved as well as perspective, but I noticed that it also improved my angles determination and ability to recreating them on paper from references and life.
PS. paper format is A4
Everything is looking pretty good! Keep in mind, if you make a mistake don't try to redraw or fix the line, let it stay. You might consider trying some more extreme perspectives/rotations with your boxes if you work on this exercise in the future.
Next Steps:
Go on ahead to lesson 2, goodluck!
Hi, thanks for good words!
It happend some times that after drawing bad line I redraw it due to some automatic impulse, but I'm not sure you are writing about this or about my attempts to add line weight to silhoutte. In any case I keep it in mind.
As to extreme perspective - yes i will try this, but I had and still has an issue with not extreme perspective - troubles with finding parallel line to an edge. I was using this parallel as base for chosing next edges in shallow foreshortenig case.

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.
