I suppose it's probably better to lay them out according to some reference image, just to make your life easier. It's not about training you to make up legs better, just to pay closer attention to building up those masses.

I didn't make a gallery of my references this time.
I don't have any questions or nothing to add for now, other than I spread the work out over a longer time than I usually would.
Overall I think there's plenty of improvement here, and as a whole you're doing much better than before. I am going to mark this lesson as complete, but keep in mind that there is still ample room for improvement overall, and that this will come with continued practice and reflection over the information I've given you thus far.
Also, I pointed out a few key issues with your goat drawing.
In the coming months (starting in January), I'm going to be going back over my videos and rerecording them to better incorporate the changes I've added to how I wish to teach this material. This information has mostly been imparted to you via critiques, but once they're added to the lessons proper, it should be in a more cohesive manner. As such, I recommend that when that material comes out, you give it a look to ensure that your own understanding is as solid as it could be. Until then, be sure to continue practicing animal drawings on your own as you continue forwards.
I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
Next Steps:
Move onto the 250 cylinder challenge, which is a prerequisite for lesson 6.
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.
