The only issues with these drawings that I noticed were that; I shouldn't have added the extra line weight on the hippos front right leg (which I did in attempt to differentiate the two because they were so close).
-
The hippo's eyes are slightly confusing to adapt with the pentagon method because they seem to protrude from the skull.

I thought I had been doing sausages, but didn't realise I wasn't giving them a curved rhythm.
-
I wasn't drawing through the sausage, but instead would not like it's position, and draw a second one, instead of accepting the position of the original.
-
I would add very thin/redundant secondary forms that provided no purpose and were visually confusing, looking like more draw through lines.
-
Still occasionally add lineweight in situations that were not explicitly overlapping by force of habit.
-
Repeat the line if it didn't match my intent; which I think tends to happen because of a lack of mileage with curved lines, and since I have started to try to not death grip my pen.

The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
