Started with torso cubes and extended the body a bit.

My animal decomposition into simple shapes.
Might have gone a bit too simple on the dormouse and too complex on the cat.

here is a bear that I drew, as one of the first structure drawings Ive done. I tried to build off of the gesture of that I drew. Any critique is welcome!

Some constructions after watching the critique video, I think I'm getting the hang of it but sometimes I struggle about knowing when to use a round shape or a box to simplify the forms and connecting them together in a cohesive way, any feedback is appreciated!

Working on giving the animals some more structure. Should I make them more box shaped?

Here are my attempts on structure. The Shark was particularly difficult! Any feedback appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm really not sure about how I interpeted the photo's in some of these. Especially the wolf is meh, since I struggled seeing the space due to the fur. Some feedback would be nice!

I have a question: When simplifying anything, is there a 'correct' way to interpret the shapes found in the subject? Like for example, I might see a half-circle in the subject's head, but another person might interpret it as a cut-off box. Would both interpretations in that case be considered 'correct,' or would one of them be considered the appropriate shape to be put into the drawing?
Thanks!

Some animal structure practice! Critique is welcome! Initially I was struggling a lot with breaking down animals into shapes (what shapes to use, etc.) but moderndayjames’ video on how to draw animals really helped. However I know I still have more improvements to make so I’m considering spending another week on this after watching Proko’s critique video (not sure why I didn’t watch that beforehand).

love it when you do your examples of the exercise. I'm pretty dumb so I tend to not realise I CAN do a quick gesture first before adding the structure.
