Much better! By and large you're applying those line extensions correctly, except for one small instance. The one I cropped in here is definitely not fitting our proportional goals, in that rather than having circular ends, they're definitely more smushed down. This isn't a problem in and of itself - it's expected that we'll be off by varying degrees - but in extending your lines you got a little too relaxed with it and just drew the minor axis line so it'd run towards the upper-left vanishing point. Unfortunately, that's not its minor axis.
Rather, the minor axis of those ellipses coincides with the red contact point lines running downwards - it's those lines that actually cut the ellipses into two equal, symmetrical halves each. Identifying this correctly would show that the proportions are wildly off, but since it ended up coinciding with the contact point line in that dimension, it got confusing. An understandable mistake, but an important one to call out.
Anyway, I'll go ahead and mark this challenge as complete.
Next Steps:
Move onto lesson 6.
Thanks!
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
