Hey everyone, it's time for a new update!

Today marks the start of another new mini theme, take a look.


The task here was to start by drawing a line, then two curved lines on either side, once that was done it had to fill in the middle of this funnel shape with ellipses! I think these came out looking pretty good. I'm especially happy with how those lines turned out, they were drawn freehand and they're really quite straight! The curves turned out pretty well too, I really feel like all this practice has helped my mechanical drawing ability a lot, and I'm not even done with all of these exercises yet!

Well that's all for today, check back tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for another update.

Here are my ellipses in plane exercises for today!


I wanted to end this mini theme with a bang, and I think I did just that with that huge ellipse at the top. It's kinda messy, and I went a bit out of bounds, but it was a great exercise in controlling my arm movement. I think the rest of the ellipses turned out okay, I think this might be something I want to practice off and on, just to keep my skills sharp.

Well, that's all for today, check back tomorrow for a new mini theme!

Hey everyone, it's time for another update!

Here are my ellipses in plane exercises for today.


I kind of did a double take when I was uploading this, the layout of the planes is almost identical to what I posted yesterday! These look pretty good, the bottom middle ellipse is a little wonky, it went out of bounds a bit.

Well that's all for tonight, check back tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for another update.

Here are my ellipses in plane exercises for today!


These are okay, they're a bit sketchier than the ones I posted yesterday, but they're also a little bit bigger. Bigger stuff tends to get a bit messier because that means I'm not only using my wrist, but also my elbow and possibly my shoulder to create those shapes or lines. I keep trying to push myself to work with larger subjects so I can better control my movement.

Well, that's all for tonight. Check back for tomorrow for something new.

Hey everyone, it's time for another update!

Tonight marks the start of a new mini theme, check it out!


So these exercises are again about ellipses, but the goal is to draw those ellipses within the boundaries of those hand drawn planes. I think these came out pretty nice looking. One of the lines in the largest plane is a little wiggly, but my main goal was getting those ellipses right, and I think I did a pretty good job of that!

Well, that's all for tonight. Check back tomorrow for more!

Hey everyone, it's time for another update!

Tonight's my final ellipse exercise sheet, let's see how I did.


These turned out nicely! I didn't have too much trouble with these, mostly because I use a lot of circular or elliptical motions when I draw anyway, so I think I had a bit of an edge in this department.

Well, that's all for tonight. Tomorrow will mark the start of a new mini theme, check back then!

Hey everyone, it's time for another update!

Here are my ellipse exercises for the day.


These look pretty good, I'm just about as satisfied with these as I am with yesterday's work. The large ellipse on the bottom left's a little wonky, but everything else is alright.

That's all for tonight, check back tomorrow for something new!
