Hey there! I hope I can explain this clearly! :) These types of organic shapes can be a bit tricky. Even I sometimes struggle with them, haha. But there are ways to make them a little easier to draw. :) Something that helps me a lot is keeping the center line in mind. It helps me visualize the path or direction of the form, and it's usually the first thing I draw. From there, I can start building the shape and figure out where there will be overlaps, twists, etc. Another method, if you're having trouble visualizing the overall shape, is to draw only the contours first. Then, add the contour lines and gradually build the entire form using lighter, more subtle strokes (you can see that I used softer lines in my example). I also made an extra example. I hope this helps! It's just a matter of practice and gradually building the figure step by step. :)
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback you gave me. I think that I am starting to understand how this manipulation works. I was so overwhelmed by the contours and t lines that i did not stop to think what is visible on the form and where. I will start by tracking the center line, like you said, see each part of the form individually before thinking of the whole thing. I will also study your examples and practice the grind node.
