Learning to apply construction can be tedious and boring at times but its crucial to learn
and it especially helps with your imagination work, so you'll have to keep at it.
It is hard at the start but if you keep at it, it will pay off.
To make the construction phase more interesting I've decided
to learn about different types of folds too.
For each type of fold, I did these things in the first image (the gif):
(1) started with a rough sketch for the pose for the character
(1) started with a rough sketch for the pose for the character
(2) then I lowered the opacity of the rough sketch layer and made a new layer
to draw the clean basic construction.
(3) then made another layer and drew clothes, folds and hair etc.
(4) made another new layer for the final black clean lines
Never give up and keep at it!
Like I said before construction can be tedious at times
but once you get used to it, you'll start to have a lot of fun figuring
out how things connect together.
Construction is the type of thing that you can't just read and expect to be able to do it.
You have to put a lot of hours into understanding this and drilling it into your brain.
I bought some new sketchbooks and double-headed coloured pencils
for the underlying construction and some great black ink pens for the
clean over drawing. 
After compiling years of drawing with a logical construction
process then it will come second nature.
Then if you want to make the move to freehand drawing
it's very hard at first but just keep at it.
The next exercise is just like the last exercise in form number 5 >
first you draw the construction but instead of drawing over it
you draw the image that you wanted beside it.
Once you get good at that, you are free.
