Joseph, I think it is completely fair to expect us (students) to take responsibility for some aspects of our training, especially on projects that are not introductory. As an example, it is up to us to have gained […]

Greg, I’m the one who asked the question you have in mind. My request was for Paul to teach us more about drawing, especially different forms of perspective and projective drawing. I received the reply you quoted. […]

@jwsherm they weren’t really. The pencil marks don’t really do anything except let you think about whether the real layout (with the knife) will fit on the board the way you want.

What really happened is, he […]

I understand and appreciate that there’s only so much time. It makes sense for Paul to focus on other aspects since there are likely good drawing presentations elsewhere. Thank you for the reply.

For some people, mixing voices and music makes the voices hard or impossible to pick out. They won’t be able to follow what is said. It’s a legitimate point to raise because the crew may not know. It’s like […]
