definitely a fun one to try! and if you have time, try different approaches - that really helps to find your 'own way' of doing it!

Oh, I will be doing that for sure because I am currently so obsessed with constructing the human body in shapes (and trying to find my shape language and how I am most comfortable breaking it down).

Great topic! I've been trying to improve my ability to do this for a long time. Your previous tutorial on this is one of my favorites.
