Okay so now I realized I had to delete all my old refs and find three new ones. Will these work?

Yup, they all look good to me. For the crumpled paper one, just try and focus on creating stark black/white shapes (don't worry about the cast shadows here). Then for the other two, don't try to copy the cast shadows you see - rather, use the information present in the references to help you better understand how each form sits in space relative to its neighbours, then use that information to create your own cast shadows.

Clearly I'll need to only focus on one at a time and keep posting all results until one is done right which isn't the point to grind. But now it seems I have to because I'm looking at each and I can't see what you're talking about.

after seeing an exampel on discord where refs were used, I tried a different crumpled paper like example: Is this more what is being asked for? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/368871002584907776/959903705501696010/Practice\_87.png
