Working with general shapes is not how I ever learned to draw. Instead I've always just picked a spot and followed the overall shape of the subject.
Many times I struggle in seeing those individual shapes and it's probably just because I didn't learn that way. Now and then I like to try working exercises like this.....hoping it might make things a bit easier or an alternative method in seeing.
With this exercise, my main model is the bottom left bird on this sheet. Following the same method I normally follow (working from a starting point and following overall shape of the bird, I repeated (bottom right). Then I worked the exercise breaking down with general shapes to see how it would turn out compared to the model. All three look slightly different from one another.
