with the risk of looking really bad

Ok guys,
Im from sweden and i dont know english like an american....so all words and stuff isnt there for me.
So when i read here people talking about ".....using ellipse templates..." i have no idea even what ellipse template is all about....maybe it can help my drawings if i knew what it was?
so my question is pretty much what is a ellipse template? And how do i use it etc....

Ive been looking around here but i dont see info on it...just people saying stuff like did you use ellipse blablabla

thanks a lot!

An ellipse is an oval.

A template is a piece of plastic or something with a shape cutout so you can trace it.

Here's an ellipse template:

Ellipse templates also come in a variety of degrees. A good assortment is ideal.

Dont worry, we know not everyone speaks english.

Yeah=) thats a ellipse template, but i dont know where i can fins one in sweden, but its actually better without them=)
tell me if you find some lukas!

From a technical standpoint you arent "tracing" it's a guide like a ruler or a french curve. (beating a dead horse)

You can get them sent anywhere in the world from http://www.dickblick.com or any number of art supply stores.
