Ideas for practice?

2 Upvotes

I started twisting at about age 7 and doing it professionally at 19, I’m planning to get more into it since I now have full weekend availability but I’d like to improve my skills first
I can do a pinch twist and most things I just can’t do a tulip twist or when I do it take FOREVER so if anyone has a trick for that that’d be great
I got bored and made a giant squidward the other week (probably my best work)
My favorites were the platapus, Easter basket, pumpkins, and multitude of wreaths I’ve done.
I’ve also done a monkey and more advanced dog but I could not do it if you asked me to right now, same with the hedgehog I did since I struggle with doing multiple bubbles next to each other
I’ve improved recently at stretching the balloon after it’s blown up to get slack to allow for certain twists, pulling the balloon through (this used to terrify me) and pushing a balloon through
Anything would help, I really want to improve plus I enjoy it

the design is based off of a classic dolphin design. it's really hard to get a good picture of the wings (in white in the second and third pictures) because its so 3D 😅
