>>530691>I don't think they're /supposed to be/ a challenge.They really are. Some designers are just lazy, but when you fold enough origami, diagrams get boring. Solving crease patterns adds a whole dimension to this hobby, with some being ridiculously easy and others being deceptively challenging.
It forces you to think about where each layer is supposed to go, and how to sculpt plain flaps into something that resembles an actual being. OP's diagram is actually pretty tough, because box pleats tend to be awful at distributing weight and tension.
Try this one.
