"but I dont think Ill be able to push myself again to meet the 250 cylinder deadline"

Just to quickly wanted to add something, can you elaborate on the word deadline? Have you set yourself a finish date for this challenge?

Well I did want to finish it sooner rathat than later as 100 boxes seem like nothing to me now that I have done over 250 plus whatever else the course threw at me. Two months is the longest I have ever taken and its just for 100 boxes so you might understand my frustrations haha

I understand it wholeheartedly. I myself had to spend 2,5 years on and off with 250 Box Challenge, since my uni demanded from me a lot of time (med student), but it does end, and you do achieve the results. There's not a drop of shame from doing one cylinder a day, or in two days, or week; until you feel better and ready to push yourself. Perspective plays a huge role, "I have 250 boxes to do" and "I have 1 box to do today" are both correct sentences, but I did see the results with the second one, and maybe a shift in perspective may ease your work. Or as Uncomfy himself said, have a little well deserved break

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.
