So I just recently finished my 250 Cylinders which I basically did simultaneously with the 250 Boxes Challenge.
What I noticed apart from occasionally not hitting the angle just right or misjudging the degree which was also mentioned in the common mistakes section my biggest difficulty with this challenge was, that quite often I did not manage to to place the first ellipse perpendicular to the minor axis. In most cases when this happened I aligned the two sides according to the ellipse rather than the minor axis, which made the cylinder as a whole look alright, but of course then the minor axis was not the actual minor axis anymore as its not in the center of the cylinder anymore.

Hello again. I recently finished the 250 Box Challenge. I started the challenge after I already did a lot of Lesson 2 (basically before doing the intersections) and simultaneously as the 250 Cylinder Challenge. Also I kinda misplaced the page with the first 25 Boxes, so I did 25 additional ones at the end and marked them from 251-275 to make sure that its clear when they were done chronologically just FYI.

Hey man, sorry to be piling all my stuff on today. I did the Box as well as the Cylinder challenge after already starting lesson 2 so it was not much left to finish that one as well, which I hereby want to submit.
As a small note on the Organic Arrow excercise; the self critique resource mentiones that I should try to keep the disctance between the two lines consistent, however instead of this, when doing the excersise I tried to make it so the arrow got wider toward the point. So while I did not actively try to keep the lines parallel I didn't just scribble around either (some turned out better than others of course :P ).
Also specifically the dissection and organic intersection exercises were pretty scary at the beginning but turned out to be a lot of fun doing! Thank you very much for all the effort you are putting into doing this.
