Let's say you picked a wolf and a badger - you'd do two pages of wolf drawings and two pages of badger drawings, totaling to 4 pages. And yes, different angles/positions/poses/etc.

Ok thanks!

and

1 page of hybrids - taking various pieces of references (preferably ones you've had a chance to study over the course of this lesson), try to combine them to make some interesting new creatures

sorry for this would we be drawing multiple hybrid creatures on a single sheet of paper (im assuming)?

That is ultimately up to you. I ask for numbers of pages, but how many drawings you place within a single page is your decision. If you feel you need to draw something large enough to take up the whole page (in order to properly engage your brain's spatial reasoning skills and your arm) then you are allowed to do that.

not sure if im allowed to ask this question but im having a bit of troubles drawing the legs of a lot of the animals im looking at. ive been trying around and asking for some advice but i still can't seem to get them right.

im not sure how to use the sausage forms method to draw the legs, while keeping them solid? they seem too skinny because they taper too much but it doesnt seem like i can draw a full solid sausage shape without having to "cut in" a lot of the extra mass to make the leg shape correct if that makes sense.

i think im trying to break out of the insect legs & im having trouble figuring out how to get the form to shape correctly but also make it seem solid and 3D

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
