ok I finished the first lecture in the how to draw self-paced course I am doing. I have already drawn something! It started with drawing this like interlocking triangles thingy called the "Sierpinski Triangle" and then with some erasing, coloring in/shading, etc turned it into a hunk of cheese.

My triangle thingy is the first link, my eventual hunk of cheese is the 2nd link.

My brain definitely does NOT think this way naturally. I felt it stretching some trying to comprehend how triangles turned into a sort of 3 dimensional looking hunk of cheese. The instructor's looked much better than mine of course, but hey not bad for a first effort. I am encouraged to continue to lecture 2 while my laundry still goes (they are around 30 minutes each).
