Good discussion on ellipses. We had to draw ellipses from different angles in my Engineering Drawing class I took in a different lifetime. And lots of other shapes of sides of solid objects were drawn from various angles. We had to shade cylinders and spheres with lines and cross-hatches to make them look three-dimensional.
