I dont understand how the boxes that my red arrows point to are so much bigger than the box my blue arrow points to (to me the red arrow boxes even seem a little bigger/same size as the boxes my grey arrows point to).

The red arrow boxes are the furthest away so shouldn't they be noticeably smaller?

When i look at the image quickly without thinking, it seems fine but when im trying to deconstruct and understand to do the exercise i just don't get it.

Hi, just wondering if you would mind clarifying a few things for me?

1) I feel my elbow extending to finish long lines (when my shoulder is at its maximum rotation) . Is this ok or should i try to get into a sitting position when the shoulder rotation covers the whole line?

2) Its ok to use a ruler for the grid used to contain our circles?

3) When drawing a circle does it matter where we start (e.g. left most part or top of circle?) and in what direction we spin? is this just something we should play with?

Many thanks!
