hey there thanks so much for helping me out!
i did notice my lines change direction too much, so i tried to practice that (no clue if it is correct but)
what counts as an edge ? for example im having a lot of trouble on #1 in the image example. if i draw a line where do i stop the line?
Hi there, you're welcome!
Okay open this image :
First, good job for the number 2. Even if those lines touched others, you did well not changing their directions because those lines were delimiting other faces.
For the number 3, you missed an edge. Your intersection touched an edge of the box on the right, which was supposed the make the intersection deviate. There, I put 2 examples of what you could have done. They seem similar because the angle vary only slightly but in one example, the line I point is parallel to the edges of the box on the right and in the other example, the edge of the other box.
For the number 1, I broke my rule of the intersections needing to be parallel. I told you that rule to make things easier at first, but as you progress start breaking it. Honestly, you can redo that same example in many different ways. If the box on the right was totally behind the one on the left, there would have been no intersections. if the one on the left was slightly behind the one on the right, the intersections would have been totally different. It is about imagining which box is over which box, then trying to see how the faces would touch each other. Try different intersections with the same example :
The left box really in front of the right one, but still touching.
The right box really in front of the left one, but still touching.
Left box slightly in front of the right one.
The right box slightly in front of the left one.
It will be hard but since you're attacking your weakness, I am sure it will do wonders to your capacity of visualizing 3D space!
Keep up the good work!
thanks!
i tried to practice again do you think these look correct? http://imgur.com/a/RJLe1m8
(sorry for the blurry pic it seems my file got messed up a bit but hopefully u can see)
Very nice progress here!
There is just one little inconsistency, the two boxes on the right. The box that is in the trop right corner should be above, or at least touching the one under it. The rest is very nice good job!
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
