I decided to go back and edit in my original thoughts on this post in a less tired state.
After using this figure for a while now, I can now see the importance of seeing things as shapes. Though the proportions aren't exactly spot on, I can definitely see some improvements in my understanding of basic fundamentals. Naturally this boosts my confidence level!
Character shapes and studies:
More character emotions. I have an Eddsworld character emotion sheet, so I thought I would give them a try. I'm not entirely sure of the direction I want to go with learning faces, so I'm basically trying out as many styles as I can to see similarities in basic face structure. At the very least, it's good practice.

This book...
I must admit, I'm not a big fan of it at this moment. I'm literally three chapters in and all the autor has done is ramble on and on about the same general concepts about the differences of the left and right sides of the brain. It's a bit frustrating, I sure hope this whole book doesnt consist of a constant reminder of the same thing she has repeated over and over...
The only thing remotely close to a lesson of ANY kind is to do these few pictures as some form of measurement to compare with your future drawings after you've read the book.
As displeased as I am with the book at this moment, I will continue to read it. There has to be a reason so many people have suggested this thing. If it helps in the slightest I will be pleased. (though as it stands, I feel I have learned much more in my own independent studies from this book)
