I tried capturing the actual silhouette more by adding extra forms to the basic balls and sausages, as you have said. Funny things happened with carapace, not sure if seperating the bottom and the top were the way to go and some ended up sharper as I was not used to doing this as much.

I think I kinda screwed some curves while trying to end them without going out at times, resulting in a flatter curve or weird angularity on what should be a smooth arc.
The sosig mass drawings turned into sausage rolls, not sure if that was the desired shape.
I think I had more control over sausage forms in the bugs, legs some times ended up funny in placement. I hope I managed to bridge the Termite thorax properly, I tied to use the merging shapes example shown before but nor sure a cyclinder wouldve been better as I used a circle.

The going over sausage forms is something I do panicked with the shape,and with the lynx spider, I was almost seeing the body like marbles in a sock, which kinda created that 2D silloute you are talking about, I will incorporate more 3D shapes next time to describe it more accurately than try to take shortcuts.
Leaf insect did destroy me as I didnt put the rear leaf properly attached to the body and got stressted with the flatter tops of the legs they have. As discussed before, probably need to think about the 3D form more in-order to improve that.
I ghost by ghosting a full eclipse/circle then trying to get the pen down and up for a more-than-half eclipse/circle, should I be doing it like lines where I just ghost an arc going from one point to another?
I am not using public transport anytime soon, but when I was, it was only reading/watching materials on public transport, also a collecting habit that is both physical and digital.
My current set-up involves a clipboard leaning against a folding table, maybe not the most stable set-up but the clipboard allows me to rotate easily, maybe I dont rotate as much as I do in warm-ups and I will try to do more in the exercises themselves.
I will push myself to take it slower by observing more, another thing that may help the concerns.
Also, I am not seeing the list? It has not appeared on my laptop or phone.

I used sausage forms for the legs properly this time I hope but I still found a lot of trouble between keeping the lines instead the sausage and having them wobbly and unconfident.

I got troubled by the placement of branches into pots when putting down the path the branches and leaves take but I hope its more solid this time around.

How to Draw by Scott Robertson
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
