Reflection

During this project, I continue to learn and work on adjusting the lines and shapes, it's natural to encounter difficulties and forget the specific controls. However, consistent practice and experimentation can make a significant difference. By dedicating time to practice and trying out different techniques, I will gradually become more familiar with the controls and develop a better understanding of how to manipulate the lines and shapes effectively. Over time, with continued practice, I will become more comfortable and proficient in using them. Remember, persistence and perseverance are key to mastering any skill.
