I'm not sure which part you're having trouble with?
You might want to show an image of the part that you're trying to do.

Mean ellipse tool
thank you
Hi blackoctaupus—
If you're referring to the ellipse that represents the hole at the top of the watering can, with the Selector tool or the Ellipse tool, and first (I see you have a circle in post 115 and not a squashed ellipse, you click precisely on the top control point and then pull down. Now you have an ellipse. You can then use the Selector tool: with the ellipse selected, click on it (so you've clicked on it twice), so the shape is now in Rotate/Skew mode. Skew the right edge upwards—first, remove the fill and give the ellipse a fat red outline so you can see what you're doing. Put it over the area of the can you want to imitate. Then, while the shape is in Rotate/Skew mode, draw a little upwards on the right side skew handle.
Did this do it for you?
Can you zoom in and do a screen capture of the problem area?
Thanks!
Gary
I'm glad you approve! And gladder still that you sat for an almost 30 minute video...with no commercial interruptions.
My Best,
