This lesson is from Draw A Box, Lesson 2.

This lesson is about about seeing organic shapes in 3D even though we are drawing them on 2D. In the previous exercise, we looked at intersections with basic forms like a cube, cone, etc. This exercise looks at the same intersection concept, but with organic sausage shapes.

This is not supposed to be simple stacking of forms, but intersections of forms. Again, I’m not quite seeing the intersections. I have a few of them, but my sausage forms are mostly stacking. I did one sheet, then called it a practice and did it again. I think I could do better. I liked how one person mentioned that they think of them as water balloons instead of sausages to make them more squishy of a form, instead of a firm form that wouldn’t squish each other as much. I’ll try to think of that next time I approach this.

I spent 30 minutes practice and then 30 minute to complete this image.
