How do you draw an egg shape

Hello! This one got me hooked in thinking about shapes like I never did before. I'm sure i'll probably want to retry the seals after i'll see the demo. The Raccoons i'm drawing since the simplifying animal portraits, and I just wanted to keep drawing them, I love the result :] Anyway, great course I love it!

Great Video thanks Oh, I thought this was Marshall's Perspective Course. Marshalls Perspective on Perspective as mentioned in The Draftsmen? :(

Trying to follow along.

Thought that twisting arrow would be easy since Drawabox teached the same thing, but apparently doing it "accurately" is a whole another business! Wanted to try the twisting without the bottom part touching the ground, so that it forms a helix like DNA, but I forgot to add another vertical block before bending, now its a semi-DNA.. Hopefully it's telomer's length stays healthy xD

This was such a good course for me to do at this time. The timing was excellent. Both approaches speak to me and in particular the second approach I find to be critical to developing a more complete thought process when studying and when inventing. If I combine them with what I learned from Mike Mattesi and Drawing with Force, I get a third approach that unifies them all by focusing on function of the pose. I am particularly appreciative of the shape based approach for it's ability to be more character driven, allowing us to modify what we understand about a piece of reference. In this crit video, when you discussed the pros of sticking with the given perspective on the first pass of modifying the pose to avoid introducing new problems to solve while you're inventing. I can really see how that just increases the opportunity to confuse the objectives, and create more headaches while working. I want to acknowledge your excellent ability to clearly explain what you are doing as you are doing it (I know there are cuts and edits). There is a lot of value to see it done IRT as opposed to a voice over or narration that may end up with digressions that don't serve the lesson. Here are some mostly legible notes from the video. The first pose top left, was invented as you were talking through the first crit.

Not sure how to accurately scale each side of the box when I put on the ortho sides...

I dared to foreshortening, but I'm ashamed to say I didn't dared enough. Also I don't think I was in the right mindset while doing this. I was thinking more of having this done today to be critique than actually putting conscious effort into applying the lessons here. Also probably switching to the ruler halfway wasn't the best idea, since it change the objective from trying to understand space to precision. Would you guys agreed? Think maybe I should try with the blob approach for a while or keep trying to rough it out right away even with my poor straight line quality? Or a combination of both? What should I been thinking while doing these?
