Resubmission (2 additional constructions & missing form intersections) - https://imgur.com/a/6F9s6Qz
Thank you for the feedback. I'll admit this lesson has been by far the most challenging - working outside-in definitely has it's challenges when compared to the more "build up" method of lessons 3 - 5. I reviewed the course material and the demos, and upon another look I think I understand some of the subdividing stuff better. I think I'm just impatient - in that determining a button's center via subdivision, then mirroring both axes, and applying those as planes in three dimensions just seems exhaustingly tedious for something as simple as a button.
But I see the value in it. What I struggle with most honestly is just managing the absolute jumble of lines that infest the page - it's very hard to keep track when one plane's subdivision lines overlap 7 other ones. I know in digital this would be less of an issue, as you could just split them up onto separate layers and hide/make transparent when applicable. I asked in the server and was told that splitting subdivision lines into different colors can help, and it did a bit, but it still was very difficult, especially when drawing through forms. Do you have any advice for this?
Otherwise, thank you for the critique. I'll admit I think I was letting my impatience get the best of me, and was frustrated. The comic you made helped but into perspective of trusting the learning, and giving it time to absorb, however slow that may be.
