Uncomfortable

Unfortunately, this subreddit is reserved for posts relating to the lessons on drawabox.com, as explained here. I'd recommend asking this over on /r/learnart or /r/learntodraw.

That said, one of our students-turned-teaching-assistants has written an article on H2D, how one could go about using it, and what one might use instead as a simpler alternative. You'll find it here.

Personally, I use the book as a reference rather than a lesson - it stays on my shelf until I need to figure out how to solve a very specific perspective problem, at which point I'll pull it out, flip to whatever section talks about my specific issue, then try to apply the techniques there.

This actual level of highly specific perspective isn't actually required for most things - rather, what one needs is a much lighter introduction to perspective, vanishing points, the convergences of parallel edges when drawn as lines in 2D, and a more generally developed sense for spatial reasoning (the manipulation of simple 3D forms in 3D space, on a much more organic level).
