Thanks for responding with your revisions.

Great job! You've rectified the points I raised in my critique, well done. I'm going to mark this challenge as complete, but I have one more tip for you to bear in mind when you practice cylinders in your warmups.

Don't be afraid to change up both the viewing angle and proportions a bit more. Sometimes if the cylinder is very short, or we're looking almost directly at one end, the two ellipses will overlap. This page has examples of both cases https://i.imgur.com/K12LafM.jpg and I think it would be a good idea for you to experiment and play around with this (when you can stomach drawing more cylinders, 250 was a lot to plough through and you might be fed up with them right now)

Well done, and good luck with lesson 6!

Next Steps:

Feel free to move on to lesson 6.

Sure I'll try doing more of them in different orientations in the warm ups.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.

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.
