SO MANY ELLIPSES. I have a hard time trying to teach people how I do ellipses. I don’t have any measuring or formulas. I just tweak things to a microscopic degree until it just *click* feels right. I think this is related to much of my training done by eye and responding to things optically. However a little perspective information also helps to train my eye so I know what it "should" look like. When conceptual and perceptual are working in sync, teamwork makes the dreams work.
