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?
-
How does constructing the muzzle work when an animal is full profile?
-
Do adding masses work by fitting the mass AROUND pre-existing forms?

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.
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:
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.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
