Ah okay, that makes sense.

Another thing. I'm trying to ghost and do my lines in one smooth motion but in the instructions you said that it's good to draw the ellipse several times. Is it just the edges of the cylinder (and the construction box) that should really be drawn in one motion?

Thanks for the feedback, I've really got to get better at ghosting.

I decided to do some more cylinders for practice and I noticed something that's been tripping me up. I decided to check in some 3D software to confirm. See this image (the top is the original and the bottom has the right side mirrored about the centre line). It looks to me like, with a very wide angle lens, the minor axis does not coincide... at all... with a line going through the centres of the two faces.

How do you figure out the minor axis in this case?

Here's my attempt. Drawing ellipses is especially difficult!
