tinDeer, thanks for stopping by and the friendly comment.

I'm always coming back to proportion solving when I try figures, and I've finally come up with something workable. Spheres. The simultaneous advantage and disadvantage of spheres is that they're always the same form in every view. So for proportion/construction purposes I've figured a beginning of a way to use them. Stacking spheres feels very much like modeling, combining form and perspective intuitively right at the start just feels right.
The danger is ending up with a snowman. When I take the construction further I have to remember to leave out/shave off some fat bits, or only use the spheres to put boxes inside.
Right now the constructions aren't characteristic enough of real life. I'll develop them some w/ hampton and then see how it works in simplifying vs a ref.
