I think the method for drawing tires in this lesson is a lil misleading. In the 2nd step we are told to break away from the traditional cylinder, by by making it a lil more "bubbly". Now this is not incorrect way to draw tires, but only for motorcycle tires (and also bike tires). Car tires are flat (also tractor tires). It comes down to that motorcyles need to be "bubbly" for the veahile to turn easier. Car tires need to be flater to grip the ground better and nice give out the weight. Now its not impossible to find exeptions to this rule, but they are exeptions and i dont think this is what the lesson was about. I dont want to be a smartass or something, but i really think this challange instructions should be redone or at least change the narration to be about drawing motorcycle tires.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

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.
