Learn the three basic sectional planes—sagittal, coronal, and transverse—for building form in perspective drawing.

I kinda relate the sections as scanner.
Imagine a person or an object is being scanned from top to bottom, wiung wiung wiung.. That's Transverse!
Oh another scanner scanning from right to left, wiung wiung wiung.. Ok that's Sagittal.
Third Scanner! This time it's scanning the object from front to back, bzzt bzzt bzzt, thanks Coronal.
Tbh the names are still something hard to remember, I wonder if there're easier names to call them,

Amazing explanation and animation.
Your laugh was somewhat disturbing, throughout, though!
Was Stan hurt during the stunts, in making this animation?
I was surprised you put water in the pool!
Thanks

Yeah, I got pretty sadistic there, but Stan seems to be more okay with it than getting sung to.

Sagittal - serious symmetric sword slice
Transversal - tightly tied tie
Coronal - circumnavigate the sides.
Coronal is tough. That last one is a stretch. I suppose if you have the first two there is really only one perpendicular plane left. I liked the headphone comparison.

Thats Me with Coronal too, were like neighbors, I don't know his name, but I know where he is,

(Marshall don’t read this)
I remember it the following way:
- sagittal: like the side eye I give to people who introduce themselves with being a Sagittarius, it separates left to right on the x axis
- transverse: your friend’s ex-wife, will gut you in half along the y axis leaving your heart/ribcage in a different box from your guts/pelvis (especially if they’re a Sagittarius, or, more benignly, Stan teaching figure drawing)
- coronal: tough, like you said. goes along depth, the 3D axis. The hellborn spawn of perspective. The reason Scott Robertson books exist. Wants to give you a coronary (but Marshall won’t let that happen)
As long as we remember the view axis, the other two will be the remaining ones right? E.g. sagittal is x axis, so working it out from there, the slice will be y/z. Transverse moves along y, so inevitably the plane slice will be x/z. But it mostly just boils down to “cut things in half along each axis”).
