Currently on the study of Primitive forms. The box rotations. What is exactly useful to learn? Does the slight degree really matter that much? My current goal is to build a Mannequin, but how much do I really need just to make a proper 3 dimensional character?

you don't have to draw all those angles, if you simplify the essentials you'll get 0, 22.5, 45, and 67.5, though 22.5 and 67.5 degrees are mirrors
identify what angles are unique, and what can be mirrored vertically/horizontally
with enough repetition you can calculate between two angles for the tiny incremental versions

Late reply on my part, I want to ask something. I'm getting quite an understanding on how to rotate boxes in these angles. But when comes to building actual mannequins, how do you actually make one? I don't want to spend most of my time just creating boxes and not applying it, I don't want it to turn it into a mindless practice.

let me grab some mannequins
so we have different levels in perspective
1st level is being able to construct actual objects
2nd level is placing another object relative to the 1st
3rd level is placing a mannequin on said objects
4th is applying rotation to relative objects
5th is applying the figure
when you focus on drawing mannequins, you're focusing on correct structure and maintaining proportion during rotations and relative placements
at the most basic forms with your boxes you can start posing figures
if you can excel in this you basically have perfect guide lines when you draw or correct your own figure drawings
and then you can gradually introduce more complex or orgnic shapes like balls and cylinders while maintaining your structure and proportion guided by your own box figure

oh my, that's quite daunting. I'll do my best though. Thank you for your time and assistance.
