I am having trouble visualizing form intersections. May I draw the interesction lines in a different color?
Just go with it thinking all of this is an exercise, Drawabox doesn't demand you to do an exercise perfectly.
My suggestion would be going through the material until you get it (the concept at the very least).
Although if you are really having trouble with it i can think of an exercise you could do.
Instead of doing full "complex" 3D forms like cubes, pyramids and such, maybe start by doing the intersections of things like planes + ellipse, plane + plane, just like this
And you can't draw them in different colors (at least for the exercise) specially because the lesson also teaches you to use line weight to clarify your overlaps and intersections.
Ultimately i would recommend to not go crazy over it and most importantly do not grind, it will only take up your time.
I'm not sure if another colour would be allowed. Maybe someone else could chime in on that.
Keep in mind that Comfy stated that intersections are not the actual focus of this exercise; they should be an afterthought to placing the overlapping forms in the same space. Intersections can be very confusing and difficult to do, but give it your best shot (if you decide to do it all) and move on.
If you did use a simplified version of intersecting as suggested by Ledvi21 (which might not be recommended in the course as it's not the assigned homework; though it is a valid exercise), remember always to draw through your forms.
Whatever you do, I second Ledvi21: don't grind. Do what the course requires and move on.
Thank you
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
