Content

This weekend I've gone and updated the content for lesson 4. As I did with lesson 3 last week, I added 3 new demos with recordings, plus a 40 minute intro video to cover basic concepts regarding how construction applies to this subject matter.

Unfortunately I won't be able to do the same for lesson 5 for a few weeks, as I'll be on vacation. I hope to get on that soon after I return.

I'm having trouble trying to draw the ladybug from a different angle. From the image you use, there are clearly three balls which you show in your demonstration, but when I look at the ladybug from a different angle, I can't see those three balls and I can't seem to get the pieces to fit together. Would you be able to do a quick sketch for a ladybug at a different angle showing how understanding the construction makes it possible to rotate the image?

Could you give me a specific reference image to work from? I wouldn't want to try another angle and then have it not be one that is particularly helpful in your situation.
