I found your insight and the draw overs very useful and well articulated, especially tailored to suit my flaws. I'll make sure to consider these in my future drawings, and the advice I can give to others in the L5 channel.
Thank you!

Thankyou for your critique, I'll make sure I really pay more attention to the forms in L5, and revisit the critiques I've received so far.

I will sometimes ghost up to 8 or so times, but usually it's because i'm also slightly rotating the angle of the page to what feels more comfortable and adjusting my ghosting angle accordingly.
I usually go for 3 or 4, if I'm lazy I'll catch myself at 2 until I frick up a line, then I'll give it more thought/ focus.

This is fine, you can see the planes through the ellipses. I submitted them as one for Lesson 1.
(in lesson 2 there's a similar exercise, but the expectation is you take the photograph before you draw in them).

Thank you Tofu! Plenty for me to work on in my warm ups.
The ??? was a smiley emoji that didn't translate.

In textures, we're drawing implicitly vs explicitly. In cast shadows, there is never just a line on it's own, there's always a thickness to the line.
You want to look for the shapes that those shadows make, and because we're using fineliners there are no shades of greys or mid tones we can use to show the transition, we have to choose how much of that dark grey we color. As you get to the next step and draw your transition, you would color more of the grey closer to the left (darker side) then transition into only coloring the deepest bits of shadow on the left/lightest side.
I've had a quick paint over your paper example for the shapes I saw, your crumpled paper casts erratic, tapered shapes https://imgur.com/gE1KZJp
Do your best not to draw what you see, but the shadows you can observe.

Thankyou very much Tofu, I really look forward to the next lesson :D

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.
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.
