Lesson 6: Applying Construction to Everyday Objects

Okay so, this lesson was hard.
For the form intersection, I didn't know if we should use the ballpoint pen and ruler, as it's in a new lesson, so I did both free-handed and with ruler and french cuves. Might do more with ruler, it was easier to imagine the overlaps, which is a good exercise.
For the objects overall, the curves and rounded edges in general are super hard to place, that and/or I have no idea how to accurately use french curves.
Missed the mark on the general boxes for the vape pen and the JBL sound system
Quite happy with the nail clipper
For some reason on the switch joycon I did all the buttons (except the + one) at half the size I should have done, I had a lot of trouble keeping thinking straight when doing this exercise towards the end, it's hard to not get lost with all the diagonals and lines and stuff.
The spray thing was kind of a failure, placing ellipses was good enough, but I had a very limited array of curve angles with my ellipse helpers, which meant either no perspective or extreme perspective if I wanted to use them, don't know if I went the right choice tbh.
The cutter is another example of my brain melting towards the end of the exercise, The details seemed incredibly hard to apply due to the number, but I feel I gpt the overall shape.
