Do you think you can reply with some basic constructions of the animals I attempted in my revisions (specifically the sheep)? I know there is constructions on drawabox but there's not any of animals in front view. I'll be sure to go over your first reply each time I start a new construction.
Please make sure to go through all the information you have at your disposal. You state that there are no demos of front views but I’d consider the puma demo to be fairly frontal.
Some of the informal demos also show how to use additional forms more liberally, the running rat, donkey, and puma are good examples to refer to.
I specifically mentioned this demo in your initial critique as an example of using additional masses along the legs, so your apparent unawareness of its existence raises serious concerns about how thoroughly you went through that original critique.
Nonetheless, I have put together a step by step sheep construction, based on the reference in your submission. You can find the demo here. I hope that helps.
I've read every word and looked at every attachment that you've sent me. It would be pointless and a waste of time and money for me to try and do this without all the help I can get, especially since I am having a real hard time putting what I've learned to practice. The puma construction, I would say, is frontal but from a bit of a higher angle, sort of looking down on it. Or maybe it's the way its body is positioned. Anyways, thank you for the demo.

A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
