The method I use to obtain correct visualization of rotations is different to both of you and cadalot, but any method that works for ya sure doesn't have anything wrong with it.

For me, First angle is like the subject object (if there is such a thing ...lol) is simply sitting on my desk and the way I draw it is the way and position I see it in if I just roll it horizontally or vertically, on the other hand, Third angle is like I have the item sitting against the underside of a sheet of glass and how it would roll, how I would see it, and in the respective position against the underside of that see-thru surface. Visualizing it takes a micron, explaining it takes longer. Not always easy for someone to pick up in text, but I know from my own experience that people pick it up within a few moments if I teach them one on one.
