We Believe Information Should Be Clear and Worth Your Time
Let’s face it. Finding real, reliable information online is not easy anymore. Everything starts to sound the same. Same definitions, same wording, same surface-level answers.
At nedir.life we are here for people who genuinely want to understand something, not just skim through it. https://www.nedir.life/
We don’t write to fill space. We ask ourselves one simple question: Why would someone search for this? And then we write for that curiosity. We go beyond basic definitions. We talk about where a concept comes from, why it matters, and how it fits into real life.

Something that may help students "eyeball" are the cube face shapes that Ernest Watson illustrates in "Creative Perspective". Watson suggests copying them (in orthographic) and drawing their appearance freehand from different locations and distances. Doing this helps build "intelligent perception".

Thanks for this video Marshall, and thanks for the advice. It's definitely cleared some things up, and with some practice from the latest assignment under my belt I think I might retry this one. 1) examine and understand forms 2) construct. Got it! (I think that's right!)

Thank you for your time and also thanks to Lin, Ishaan, and Roderick for their responses. Doing my best not to get too discouraged. Just need to remind myself that we all learn at our own pace and there is a whole lot of class left... I just like smashing the panic button, it's my default state in this life.

I think one of the things we have to accept is that we are all very much not equal, in the most positive way. We might be on similar journeys but we didn't start this course at the same point in the journey and, as it is an online course, we all have different amounts of free time and energy. There are many ways to look at things, one would be that there is joy in the act of learning itself so we can take a deep breath and just simply enjoy the privilege of being here. The other way to look at this is a more down to earth one, motivation is not how you get things done, habits are, I am a firm believer that nothing in this world can beat good habits and hard work. Discipline is not represented by the good days, it is represented by the bad days when you do feel discouraged but you choose to do it anyways.
Either way, I hope this reply was not too uncalled for, these are just some of the things I tell myself everyday too. I do wish you the best and think you are doing great by just pushing forward on your path
