Don’t be like me, practice those 90 degree ellipses
Humm I'm getting an error when trying to load the images

Sorry, for whatever reason Imgur decided to erase those albums from existence. Here are the new links:

Should be in the clear now (hopefully) and thanks for checking out my submission.
No worries for the imgur link :)
For the first 150 Cylinders you did a really good job, your ellipses were really clean from the start and you took great care to mark the actual minor axis which helped you improve through those ellipses. Be careful though the ones with a strong foreshortening (or close VP) were nearly always long stretched cylinders, try to vary a bit more and make some dramatic foreshortening with short wide cylinders sometimes :)
Also be careful with cylinders 113, 35 were they're drawn geting wide instead of narrower, 2 out of 150 is not a big deal but be really mindful to not have parallel nor diverging edges with your cylinders just like with your boxes :)
Moving on to the last 100 cylinders.
Seems like for some ellipses here like 165, 161 you drew through your ellipses 3 times, just like you shouldn't draw through your ellipse only once try to remain in control and to stop your ellipse after the second pass through has been drawn.
Other than that I don't really have anythign to add your cylinders were as well done as the first 150 and you kept improving throughout, be sure to keep drawing your line extensions / accurate minor axis when you keep doing this exercise in your warmups and feel free to move on to Lesson 6 after you drew your 50/50 rule.

Hey SimonP,
I think I was leaning pretty close to the parallel cylinders while experimenting so I’ll keep your recommendations in mind for those. The boxed cylinder ellipses were definitely difficult to get down right, I might need more patience with those in the future. Thanks for the critique!
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.
