It sounds like I have exactly the same problem. I cannot seem to see the intersections. So frustrated. Drusk's example above makes sense when I see it, so tomorrow I will look at my pages of boxes and see if I can see/find the intersections. Fingers crossed!
It was super helpful for me! Did it help you as well?
Mmmm...sort of. I can understand when I see someone elses intersections, but, when I look at them everything just seems to sit in front or behind. I can't seem to pull out the intersections. I submitted for crit, as Uncomfortable suggested, but, I'm going to keep trying to work it out. I used only boxes (thought it would be easier to see), so I will see if it's helps to use the other shapes. Frankly, I still struggle at times with the drawn through lines, which just seem to confuse the perspective for me. sigh...
Oh no... that's a shame! One thing that helped me was to start shading one side (or shading it with pencil) of the box before doing the intersection. That way, at least one of the boxes was (sort of) holding still as I drew the next box.
This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
