Okay, so here's a little warming up exercise to do ellipses and just like drawing straight lines It's easier to rotate the page a little bit because this Direction feels more natural for drawing your lines and it's the same with the ellipses So find a position that enables you to draw your ellipses more fluent So what I'm doing is ghost lining and draw the ellips in the air first before I drop my pen on the page And that really helps to get that motion Fluent and feel the ellipse before you put it on paper Now there's something about your lips is they're actually symmetrical so This This part here on the left Is actually the same as the one there and the one there And this one it's just mirrored and That's important to notice that the ellipse has a center line actually two center lines Horizontal and vertical and they're called the minor and major axis. This is a minor axis and this is the major axis and We can vary the width of these two axises. So This is the exercise I like to do is draw another set of ellipses on top But make the minor axis smaller as you go up And try and keep them symmetrical and adjust Just the ellipses if You think they're not symmetrical Okay, so at the top they get very narrow and then to the bottom we can actually make them overlap and ghost line Let's see if you can make them more round with every Every variation you do Okay Okay, so try and make an effort to keep them the same with All the way from top to bottom and this already gives you an impression of a cylinder Okay, next Rotate the pitch a bit to the left and try and do the same in this direction So here's a narrow ellipse and we're gonna make them wider As we move to the right of the page And you can do this in any direction So just draw a line rotate the page in a more comfortable position And make sure that the ellipse is always perpendicular To this axis here to the center line Let's do some smaller ones All the way up to full circle and Maybe another set here Let's vary the width All right All right, so fill a couple of pages with these ellipses it will really help with the next exercise
