Does anyone have a video of a full L7 construction?

4:52 PM, Thursday September 7th 2023

On Lesson 7, and I'm tripped up by all of these demos being incomplete - all of them just show a final construction, or a construction plus one single orthographic plan - and I don't have a good enough grasp on the lesson materials yet to put those puzzle pieces together in my head. Does anyone have a video of someone doing both orthographic plans, plus the final construction step-by-step?

I would just plow through with it and get feedback on how to do it properly before doing the whole thing from scratch (like I have with every other lesson), but I can't even get enough of a foothold to do that.

For now I have a written guide for how to do lesson 7 which is here https://drawabox.com/community/submission/EKYD69DA

I'll be adding a video of me doing a construction by the end of tomorrow which will just be showing me following the steps I've outlined to make it more clear if there is some confusion.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
