Thank you so much for your feedback!
I tried focusing in on the way my forms laid on top of each other in these constructions. I feel that I'm closer to understanding how to convey the way forms wrap around each other.
There are still a few places that I felt my approach was awkward, such as in the front legs of my first horse.
Nevertheless, I'm hoping that I did a better job in my revisions, and I look forward to your feedback.

Thank you so much for your feedback!
I have tried to apply the notes from your critique in my revision, and I look forward to seeing what you have to say.
One place in which I realize that I made a mistake is in the texture of the abdomen of my honey bee. I forgot your advice about the viewer being able to feel the texture.
Once again, thank you for your feedback.
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.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
