I understand that they have to cut the ellipses in half, but am I doing it right?
I think you are trying to do it right but some are a bit off. 3 and 7 in particular.
Oh okay, I'll keep going then, thank you :)
As far as I see, you have to cut the cylinders in half. 6 and 7 are not right, the line should pass through the centre of the ellipses.
If you think that you are cutting the ellipse in half, then there is no single line that does the job. Consider a circle, is there only one single line that cuts the circle in half? No, and same is with ellipse. This is because ellpise is nothing but you looking at a 2D circle in a 3D plane from different perspectives.
Thanks for your answer! I didn't see the notification earlier (was logged out of the website and didn't realize) but your comment is very helpful.
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
