I appreciate the swift and detailed critique! Thank you!

These videos have been helpful to me, thank you!
Thanks! Lol
You did a really good job with these boxes! I a problem with a few of these however, and that is the inner corner being off, which I didn't see as much in the previous 10 boxes. Drawing the boxes in this alternative method should help with that. That being said, this is a very common problem for this challenge, and it doesn't seem to be too big of a problem for your boxes, but I would keep this in mind as you continue.
Great job with these!
These are looking really good! Go right ahead to the other 50. Feel free to change the orientation a bit for each one, I noticed that the boxes had a very similar orientation on this round.

I have 2 more questions.
How do I construct the muzzle of an animal with an open mouth?
How should I approach the feet if they are obscured in a photo?
The first question I feel was a bit of a problem for me on the fox photo I previously chose. It has also dictated me to find only photos of animals with closed mouths, and honestly felt pretty limiting to me. I have included a bonus construction where I attempted to draw a yawning wolf. It came out nice, but I don't think I really constructed it all that much, and I was wondering if you knew how to approach this? I want to remove this limitation I have.
The second question was a problem that I encountered while constructing the African Wild Dog (the second one), where his feet where obscured by the foliage of the savanna. It was a problem for a few of my previous constructions as well, and I would like to know how to get around this. Should I be finding separate reference photos for the feet?
I appreciate all of the help you have given me thus far. It has been extremely helpful.
There were two particular questions that I have encountered while creating these constructions:
How does constructing the muzzle work when an animal is full profile?
Do adding masses work by fitting the mass AROUND pre-existing forms?
I decided to push forward and complete the constructions anyways to better apply the previous points that you made.
I appreciate your feedback and have no qualms if you feel that more revisions should be made.
I still feel like I am struggling a bit. You mentioned that my Insect constructions were better than my Animal constructions, and I completely agree. The insects had very clear segmentation for me to follow, while the animals aren't so clear to me where forms start and end, and I think that is the biggest area I am struggling in. I also feel that I am still struggling with adding forms more organically and I tried to apply your advice the best I could.
I'm not completely sure that I am getting it still, and I'm not sure what questions I should be exactly asking, so I will leave it up to you. These animal constructions took me quicker than my insect constructions, so either I am getting better/confident, or I am being sloppy and missing the point.
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
