My bad. I guess I don't have any practical advice to offer then. For what it's worth I'm feeling the same whiplash at the texture analysis section. It's surprising there's so much talk about the overlapping forms and none about the texture section. Perhaps I'll see why when I get to them, but I suspect it's because those with previous art experience have done similar texture exercises, while the overlapping forms are new to many.

If you're feeling discouraged remember that this is just supposed to be an introduction. Uncomfortable clearly says he doesn't necessarily expect competent results yet. He introduced it to us so we can begin practicing, nothing more.
