Connecting the arms and legs at the joints can sometimes lead you to stop thinking 3D because you miss the end planes that would help define the orientation of each shape.

Please make sure you always FINISH the shape! If you can't finish the shape, that might mean that you did not understand enough 3D information.

If you're having this issue, try the following tips:

• Try putting in a break at the connective sections (i.e. elbows, knees, hips, etc) and simply draw the boxes as disconnected shapes.
• You can also just draw on top of each other and have overlap - totally fine at this stage because the goal is leveling up those 3D muscles!
