usually the wheels that are hard to draw are the bigger more circular angles.

So I just exaggerate (cheat) and use a coin or something instead ;P

The thinner ovals it's easier to freehand.

You can usually get ellipse guides at any art supply store, or internet. SIngle guides or sets with different degree/angles, sizes, etc. With guide lines on your sketches, lining up the elliptical guide is easy. Roboduck
