Hey ALLIPSES,
Good to be in touch again! Glad you got the links.
Regarding the sausages you are correct about the ghosting method being the correct way. I am suggesting this as an experiment to further connect your hand and your brain to "think round sphere end" and draw round sphere end.
For example you could try doing 3 of these experimental sausages to get your shoulder used to making those lines, and then do 3-10 normal sausages and see if your body memory can help you ghost better ones. It's about getting your body to have the experience of "true sausage." Ultimately you are learning to self-critique which means continual adjustments to your approach, with smaller adjustments as you improve on each exercise in spatial reasoning.
As always, just do your best with your current ability.
Next Steps:
For revisions I'd say do two more pages of sausages. And practice three more animal demos (head or full body), but not all back to back. For each demo you go through try taking a break(s) during the drawing. It may help you recharge your mental battery pack. Drawing takes a lot of concentration when we are actively trying to improve.
Warm regards :)
