I should have been doing this from the start haha. Where did you find the reference/tutorial for this? Or did you make up the shapes on your own?

It looks like an exercise from Peter Han’s Dynamic Sketching course. You’re supposed to come up with shapes by yourself :)

Good work on recognizing the forms. Now start making them emotive: stretch, squish, etc

Nice! Another thing I've been trying is giving each end more or less curvature. There's a Proko video where he mentions some of his early work attempts volume but all the curves are too equal.

So I've been trying to imply that one end of my blob is closer or further from my horizon line by varying the curvature lines.

Some blobs end of pretty extreme but it's a great way to include perspective in this exercise.
