Hi there! I can see you are already thinking more about the adittional masses, though there's still room for improvement. Try to think more about how they wrap around the forms, and how they feel in 3d over the masses they are put on top of.

Don't forget to always hook your contours as well, take a look at this diagram from lesson 2.

Added a few notes to your drawing to point some things out as well.

Next Steps:

Overall you're doing a good job so I'm marking this as complete. Keep thinking on the things I pointed out on future practice and drawings, and good luck!

Your next step is the cylinder challenge, keep up the good work!

Thank you for all the critique, I'll try to be more mindful about things you mentioned in the future.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
