The instructions are very useful to recreate the final product, but I love how much of a "draw the rest of the fucking owl" vibe the photos give

The first picture gives an entire breakdown of all the layers.

It isn't vague instructions, they are efficient.

The instructions are very useful

I didn't say the instructions were vague. I just thought the two pictures were a funny juxtaposition.

Only when you dont look close enough at the first picture. Most of the first is unfinished, so looking at the second definitely gives that effect. But they do in fact show all the steps in the first picture

I thought this was funny

Only when you XYZ

Can people not just find things amusing anymore 😅 as per my very first comment I see that all the steps are right there, plain and simple. In no way am I detracting from the guide, saying it's hard or unclear to follow. I just think it looks funny as presented.

Yeah, it seems to assume some domain knowledge, but is very efficient and complete when you know how to do things like flocking already.

Makes me nostalgic for old project/craft books.
