Hi 4kthom, I will be critiquing your post today.
Lets start with your cylinders constructed around a minor axis, and I have to say, nice job. I can’t see anything wrong with these. I appreciate how you drew them in a variety of angles, even having some where the ellipses overlap, which is not something everybody remembers. The forshortening is correct on these with the further ellipse being wider in the vast majority of the cylinders. The only thing I might recommend in the future is to practice some cylinders that have very drastic forshortening, where the lines converse much more then any of the cylinders you have drawn in this exercise. You could push the perspective much more for practice, but overall the variety you present here is sufficient.
As for the cylinders constructed in boxes, you also did amazingly here! I have no complaints (except for the fact that the blue pen you use for error checking in a little hard to see- maybe use a darker one?). You seem to have a very good grasp of perspective, and your lines look like they are pretty much spot on to the vanishing point a good amount of the time.
Overall, very good work! Now get working on lesson 6!
Next Steps:
Go to next lesson!

Proko's Drawing Basics
Drawabox isn't the be-all, end-all of drawing fundamental education. Our approach prioritizes certain concepts over others, and while we believe it do so for good reasons, ultimately it doesn't appeal to everyone. If Drawabox simply doesn't work for you, give Proko's Drawing Basics course a try - at the very least, you'll probably find it to be a hell of a lot more fun.
