I'm not sure I've made much progress on knowing what line I want to draw without drawing it first, but I think I began to have the dimmest glimmer of an idea of at least how I might go about figuring out how to have forms intersect. http://imgur.com/a/SSLhj

Well, I've tried some more. These aren't even all the form intersections I've done, but they're the most acceptable ones.

I did most of this lesson a few months ago, after I did lesson 1, but I started all over this time around. I think I got better at the contours, but the form intersections are still nigh-impossible. I think I just don't have that part of the brain that understands physical objects. After four pages of failed attempts (some of which were done on the train which, admittedly, may not have been the best choice), I did a fifth one using a 3D modelling program as reference, but it's still only a little better. I'd appreciate any further advice you have on how to get a sense of how forms intersect. Thanks so much for your time and attention.

Whoops, I guess I forgot to upload the last page. It's there now:

The last 10 or so are on pages 1 and 3.
Should I do another exercise to improve my lines before moving on to another lesson?

Hello, I am maybe going to try to do these lessons again (I started last year but got too busy), and I did these cylinders since I knew I needed a lot of basic drawing practice to start with.
I started out drawing too big, and by the time I got near the end I didn't want to use a whole new sheet of paper, so I wrapped around and put my last 10 or so in the space on the first few pages.

Well this lesson has finally confirmed what I have long suspected: I am mildly retarded. I don't know what boxes are or what the world looks like or anything. And every time I think I've finally learned, I forget again.

Apparently even 250 is not enough boxes for me.

I'm sorry to keep wasting your time. This time through, I tried drawing smaller, to make up for my trouble with fine motor control. I also tried to stick mostly to boxes, with cylinders and maybe a sphere if I was feeling optimistic. http://imgur.com/a/XTKvW
