" The minor axis divides the ellipse in half across its narrowest dimension.  

It always points to the Vanishing Point that is perpendicular to the ellipse's surface being sketched.
This makes the minor axis like the axle of a wheel. "  Scott R.

Thank you, that explanation really helps me understand it

Does that only account for images that are not one point perspective or does it still apply? For example the second image

Here's my sketchbook! Any comments, criticisms, advice or critiques are very appreciated. I'm a beginner and I don't know what I'm doing yet  Tongue
