You may find some insight from watching how ScyllaStew approaches her boxes, you can find her approach here.
Other than that ultimately remember that perfect boxes aren't the goal, this challenge is just meant to help improve your understanding of 3D space. While you can (and should) strive to improve your boxes don't get hung up on the results so much that you prevent yourself from moving forward.
Oh yeas I watched those :) I find those essential.
I understand your worry there. I do make myself move on with the tasks.
The reason I was asking is my mind works in formulas and when I understand
things better I do them better. I make analogies and look for dependances in everything.
When I find the right ones it just clicks in my head and it becomes effortless.
Perfect analogy here: is when Neo sees the Matrix :P
I find it mostly through practice but tips and tricks often speed up the process so I was curious if you knew any.
Thank you for responding and for your time. I really appreciate what you guys do :)
Where the rest of my recommendations tend to be for specific products, this one is a little more general. It's about printer paper.
As discussed in Lesson 0, printer paper (A4 or 8.5"x11") is what we recommend. It's well suited to the kind of tools we're using, and the nature of the work we're doing (in terms of size). But a lot of students still feel driven to sketchbooks, either by a desire to feel more like an artist, or to be able to compile their work as they go through the course.
Neither is a good enough reason to use something that is going to more expensive, more complex in terms of finding the right kind for the tools we're using, more stress-inducing (in terms of not wanting to "ruin" a sketchbook - we make a lot of mistakes throughout the work in this course), and more likely to keep you from developing the habits we try to instill in our students (like rotating the page to find a comfortable angle of approach).
Whether you grab the ream of printer paper linked here, a different brand, or pick one up from a store near you - do yourself a favour and don't make things even more difficult for you. And if you want to compile your work, you can always keep it in a folder, and even have it bound into a book when you're done.
