Uncomfortable

Mistakes will happen. These drawings are, all of them, just exercises, so if we're going to make mistakes at any point, now is certainly the time. Part of the course as a whole is meant to help students separate themselves from reliance on explicit the vanishing points (which can often be placed way off the page), but rather to continuously infer the VP's position based on the lines that are actually present on the page itself. Meaning, each time we would otherwise check the position of the vanishing point, instead we look at how the lines that converge towards that VP are converging in order to add another line that matches to the set.

This is obviously more demanding, but the main thing is that it requires more time/consideration as we execute each mark. Given that Lesson 7 does allow you to use a ruler, however, we certainly can use the ruler to help us make those judgments, whereas freehanding is considerably more difficult.
