Hello DatKexMonster,
You're welcome.
When it comes to adding forms onto your legs sausages, you did a pretty good job when you followed along with the shrimp demo here. Not quite a 100% copy of what Uncomfortable did, but close enough that I was happy that you were on the right track.
It is not an easy method, and I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a while to click. Just because it doesn't feel like a good method at first, doesn't mean it should be discarded, so I would urge you to stick with it and keep trying.
A lot of the lesson 5 demos are quite old, so there aren't that many examples of adding masses to leg sausages. At the moment the donkey demo from the informal demos page is one of the best examples of applying the sausage method of leg construction to animals.
In addition to the ant leg and dog leg demos I attached in my critique I can also provide you with a couple of drawovers/demos that were made for other students as part of their lesson 5 critiques.
This very simple 3 step demo that focused just on a leg.
This more complete demo of a deer.
This dog demo, while the extra masses on the legs are rather sparse, it may still be of use to you.
I hope that helps.
