I'll definitely set some time aside at one point to get a bit of extra work on constructing cylinders inside boxes (or as you said - ellipses on planes, afterwards it's just connecting them). It was quite tricky to find a good angle to draw these ellipses - I tend to align my forearm with the minor axis, but not sure if it's optimal in that case.

Thanks for the crit and don't worry about delay, I totally get it. We always dread December/January at work, it's a nightmare every year.

Thanks for quick reply! Those extra heavy lines are definitely something I want to limit. Even though they keep showing up, I feel over the course of this exercise I've gained some degree of understanding how angle, pressure and speed of the pen affect the ink flow and line weight.

Do you think I should tackle 250 cylinders challenge before moving on to lesson 2?

To quote everyone ever, that took way longer than expected, especially with Xmas and New Year in meantime. Anyway, here are my boxes for you to power-up on.

Also, Happy New Year!

Hey Uncomfortable, love what you're doing here! Here's my lesson 1 homework.

Sorry for random doodles and notes here and there, I try to spot any obvious mistakes I've made.
