Uncomfortable says that form intersections take a lot of time and work to understand, is anyone else completely confused about how these forms intersect? (I of course mean beginners.) And also what can I do to understand it?
You need to look at the shapes that you have drawn and then use your imagination and visualisation skills to see how they interact ( there can be more than one possibility ) if they were 3d objects. Then you simply need to draw what you see in your brain over the top.
Of course it's the development of the imagination and visualisation skills that takes the time and what you are really working on here. A lot of the time you kinda guess and then check if it looks right. Over time your abilities become more intuitive.
Mhm, I get that, thanks for replying so fast!
You can create a 3D model to clear your doubts about how a certain volume intersects with another. If you want you can check my intersections library on Sketchup's 3D Warehouse:

Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for sharing! This is very helpful indeed. I think more people need to know about the work you've done on creating the intersections library, because this topic can be rather mind-blowing. Especially if you don't have any reference images. I myself struggle with intersections a lot, especially when there are two rounded objects (like a cone and a cylinder) intersecting with each other, since they are rounded this particular instance leaves me so confused. Thanks a lot again.
Thanks for sharing. That is very helpful with respect to understanding the concept.
Thanks, that really helps.
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
