I know that everyone struggles with the form intersections but still, after sooo many days of practising, playing with shapes, watching the 'regarding form intersections' video (which made perfect sense when I watched it, but then straight after I was back to blank) and looking for hours at images online... I can barely do a cone tipping into a box. I know it will come with work, but it's like a mental block for me at the moment - as soon as I look at the shapes, there's just... nothing.
After I'd completed the boxes-only exercise, I thought I'd done a half-ok job at first, but looking at them now, I don't think so. And I had a lot of attempts at the other forms (maybe 20+ pages as well as what's here), it helped a little to use a thick pen (I tried this is an last attempt to see if it would click), but in the end I thought it would be better to just move on and seek advise here before trying again.
I wanted to ask - in your 'Regarding Form Intersections'; when you pick a point within the area connecting the 2 forms, and then draw cross sections of each form - is that a rule that works every time, for all forms? I tried this but I don't think it worked, I'm not sure if I misunderstood the video or am doing something wrong.
The rest was enjoyable. I can't seem to get the two lines of the arrows in line very well, but trying was fun. I know my lines are not very good in the last exercise, I'll be working on those.
