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.

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
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.
On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.
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.
