Idea when stuck on form intersections in lesson 2.3 (first just try *plane intersections*, then boxes that are aligned)

5:24 PM, Wednesday December 14th 2022

So, first of all, I love this course. However, I drew a huge blank on the form intersections exercise, despite reading the instructions twice, watching the videos, and putting shapes on the page as directed. I literally didn't know where to put a single line. However, after some thought (and watching “Sketch with Peter Han ep5, minutes 10-22”), I came up with some pre-2.3 exercises that helped.

  1. Plane intersections: One was to draw pairs of planes and have them intersect and adding cross hatching to indicate what was visible. It was a stretch, but doable. I felt a lot more understanding after doing this simpler case.

  2. Aligned boxes: Try just intersecting one pair of boxes that align with each other. For a beginner, this actually takes a lot of thought as well.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
