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.
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
