Hello, thank you for the feedback. Here are the revisions: https://imgur.com/a/Ohcu34h
I practiced wrapping masses in isolation, but it was mostly from a side view, so once I tried full drawing of the animals, I had some trouble with wrapping around forms that are in perspective.
I especially had trouble with the first tiger drawing, where the front part is slightly turned towards the viewer.
Similarly, I had trouble with the hind leg of the otter, which is foreshortened and partly covered by the bulk of the butt part of the body.

Thank you for the feedback! Here are the additional pages. I focused on using the sausage limbs and adding masses here, I think I overdid it with some animals, as I tried to add masses in places where the fur bulges up.
In the case of the otter, the side bulges don't look quite right - I think I got confused by the perspective here.
I also wonder, should the number of sausages in a limb coincide with the numbers of joint connections? In the case of the tiger, the front leg is stretched straight enough that I felt like I could've just used 1 sausage instead.

I tried to incorporate your feedback as much as possible, but I did find myself getting into the habit of "sketching" again at my last drawing of the scorpion. I think in general I have that habit because I have trouble controlling line weight. I'm not sure if this is a matter of not having enough experience with fineliners, or if the fineliner I'm using isn't of good quality.
I've tried using the sausage form for all my drawing, but I do notice that often I make them way too thick. I think it's because they're insects (and thus small) that I often have trouble judging how thick I should make them in relation to perspective and foreshortening.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Ellipse Master Template
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
