Nice work! There's definitely a lot of growth and improvement here, and you're clearly taking better steps towards applying the principles of the lesson.
I've got a few points I've marked out here on your fox drawing:
When adding additional masses, avoid sharp corners. Think of them like slabs of meat that you're adding to the form. Meat doesn't have sharp corners - it'll bend and wrap around, but won't feature such sudden turns.
You're doing a great job of working in additional forms into your construction, but keep working on identifying others that exist along the body.
You don't seem to be blocking in a full sphere for the eyeball itself - it helps when actually constructing the eyelids, since the eyelids wrap around it in 3D space.
Additionally, keep working on your observational skills. Your construction as a whole is coming along nicely, but I think proportions (which comes down to analysis/studying your reference) still have a ways to go. Your fox's body ended up looking a fair bit more like a big cat like a cougar or a lion.
Anyway, I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete. Keep up the good work.
Next Steps:
Feel free to move onto the 250 cylinder challenge, which is a prerequisite for lesson 6.
Thanks for the feedback! In particular, the part about point corners makes so much sense, I'll keep that in mind for future constructions.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
