Took a short break from these lessons, but I'm ready to get back into it.
I have a question, though: When using a focal point, how much detail should we leave outside of it?
From what I understand, we add little bits of detail on the outline of a furred or textured thing to imply that it's there, but when detailing atop the mass itself (that is, within the outlines of the creature), wouldn't that make it moot because it's within the silhouette? Like with the Mexican Wolf, for instance, fur is visible outside of the focal point as well, on the body of the wolf.
Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I've been wondering for a while now. :(

Wow, that was quick. Thanks a lot!
Almost gave up a few times, but I'm glad it worked out in the end. I'll definitely try to keep it up. Hopefully the next lesson doesn't bug me as much as this one did!

Well, here's my attempt: http://imgur.com/a/zK2FK
Hope it's okay. These bugs are slowly making me lose my mind. .-.

Doing these before I move on with Lesson 2:
I went a little crazy and did a little more than 250 of them. I'm still a little annoyed at myself for not being able to nail these down consistently, haha. Anyway, hope I did okay!

Ah, I see. So, from what I can understand, I should try to draw the viewer to the focal point, instead of leaving the viewer confused with too much detail. There can be detail outside of the focal point, but it should not overtake that of within it.
Thank you for the explanation. I think I understand it a little better now. :)
