Thank you for the answer, I read that in the lesson thats why I was thinking of switching to digital but in my case itd be only for cheating purposes, basically to use something like Lazy Nezumi and not have to worry about the ellipses so Im afraid it be like giving up on learning something Im not getting instead of just a switch in the tools. Anyway, have a happy new year!

I'd draw the ortographic view on one side and then extend it but it isn't what happens in this step, I don't get how the front of the plane is made, I'm very confused. I know it's my fault and not the demo's, I'm having a hard time with this lesson."

Oh I get it now, thank you! This demo is still very very helpful because these devils sausages are so hard xD

Thank you for the answer, Ill keep trying, I didnt struggle this hard with the course up until now

Thank you so much, this is much more helpful than I could have asked for, I really appreciate how you spend your time answering this kind of stuff for free here. Ill try again with this method :)

I still dont get how to apply all this to the truck demo I draw the plane to draw the ellipse inside, with one side open, then I draw an ellipse that tries to touch the corners of the plane (sometimes they get slightly smaller or bigger because of the jump in size of the template) and close it, but then the minor axis of said ellipse points to a place where I couldn't place another wheel and doesn't go to the vanishing point it should go (like huge difference from where it is going. If I try to position the ellipse in a way that its minor axis would point to a more correct place, it stops aligning the contact points vertically. I tried changing degrees but all of them had the same problem. so what do I do? How do I draw the other side of the cylinder? Im sure Im doing some kind of dumb misunderstanding but I read the lessons again and I still dont get it in practice

Oh sorry, that makes sense, Im still confused though. What about this? I traced the minor axis as indicated by the ruler, I was following the truck demo and I think I redid it 3 times now and I still cant get it right. I thought I was understanding things when I was free handing stuff but now with the ellipse template Im very confused.

Its a shame I got to lesson 7 without fully understanding this, but my knowledge about minor axis is still kinda shaky. I understand minor axis as a line that cuts the ellipse in a half and goes to a vanishing point. So I think there could be other points in the ellipse that would cut it in a half besides the ones in the ruler, is it correct?

Yes, like even if I could buy anything regardless of money there woudn't be any master template that much different from this one avaiable here. And buying directly from a store in most cities is not even an option.
