What you say in the first paragraph is what I thought intuitively looking at the examples, especially the cover of the cast shadows video, where the silhouette of the box is clearly defined.
I understand that internal lines are implied and I see it works great on the page, but what I miss are the analytical reasons behind those lines of the silhouette.
If I can offer a humble critique, I suspect this section leaves some students wondering if talent is a factor after all because it's hard to think about analytical solutions without a broader knowledge of what is the purpose of lines in a drawing and how different marks communicate light and shadow.
But yeah, we deal with these dark moments and push forward determined to get it right sooner or later, which is a valuable lesson.
Thank you very much for your answer
