Cool. Thanks for saying so.

There are a few things you could try.

Adjust the radii of the cylinders to make up for camera viewing angle.
That way, despite the perspective of the camera, all of the lines will
appear to be of the same width.

In order to punch out the blocks, try using four light sources. One
point light for your shadows, and one shadowless, dim, parallel light
from each of the y, -z, and -x directions. Give each light a different
brightness to fake the illumination from your point light source. This
will give the hand-drawn cube look (dark side, medium side, light side)
to each cube, even those in shadow.
