Every critique is appreciated! I don't feel like my cylinders improved much over the course of the exercise, but I do feel more confident while making them.

You have done a good job at drawing the ellipses and lines with confidence, however ensure to draw the the lines ellipses more tightly/compact next time.

You also have grasped a good concept of convergence of lines of the box and the cylinders towards their respective shared vanishing points.

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.
