I was drawing the minor axis first and trying to draw the ellipse to fit in the blue lines that I laid out. For straight lines, I think he mentions this in the video but dont look at where your pen is. Look at the destination point you're going to, use your shoulder and forearm and keep your wrist straight.
Are you doing the exercise where you place dots on the page and draw lines through them? Look at the dot you're aiming for and make the line without looking at where your hand is. Think of it like you're arming a gun. Always keep your eye on the target. Peter Han's video on dynamic sketching also has great explanations and tips on practicing draftsmanship.
