I don't have a great reason. I certainly read all the notes and have watched the videoes I've come across. I guess that one just got lost, though I did sort of have the impression that was an optional crutch kind of thing, and I figured it would be better to try drawing them correctly. That said I can see that they don't really look like the half ellipses they are meant to, and I suppose overshooting helps build muscle memory for the final curving around, so I understand why that is recommended and will do from now on. : )

Hello, thanks for the lengthy feedback :). I misinterpreted the stretching to mean avoiding extreme perspectives. I'll do another one of those where I attempt to be a bit cleaner as well.
As for the ellipses, I draw through them every single time. It might be hard to tell since that picture is a bit blurry, and because I added lineweight to the front half afterwards. All those ellipses you see on that page have been drawn through 2-3 times correctly.
I did have some issues drawing them cleanly though, and noticed that I was alternating between drawing them from my wrist and from my shoulder/elbow holding my arm above the table which made them wobbly. In the later exercises I started finding a more comfortable way to relax my arm to draw ellipses.
As for the central minor axis being left out, the picture on the exercises page of that lesson leaves it out, so I suppose I figured we weren't meant to use it either.
Either way, I'll do the recommended exercises again and upload them shortly. : )

Hello! I finished my 250 boxes.
I included pictures of my rough perspective boxes from lesson 1 updated with red lines all the way down at the bottom of the album. Hopefully that's not too much of an issue. : )
