Hello,
Thank you for the critque.
Here are the additional 25 cylinders. I tried paying more attention to foreshorting.

Thanks for the feedback!
I'll admit that I wasn't satisfied with how my lines turned out this lesson. I think my impatience got the better of me.
I did a partial redo of one of the bulls, just enough to make sure I understood most of the feedback.
If you don't mind, could you please take a quick look?
I tried to slow down and think about each line as well as making sure forms overlap more.
One thing I still had trouble with is the head construction, specifically the cheekbones. From the reference I feel that it was hard to tell what angle the plane was facing.
Thanks for the critique!
I was a bit nervous during this lesson which must of affected my line confidence. Ill try to change my mindset to be more accepting of mistakes that might happen while doing the lesson.
Ok, I think I see what you mean about some leave edges replacing the previous phase of construction lines. So then having some variety of leaf edges poking out and falling short of the previous line be better instead?
Thanks for the critique!
I was struggling quite a bit with the texture analyses. a lot of the shadow shapes in the reference tended to be quite similar, like a pattern almost. Thinking about it now, instead of hatching I guess I could have varied how close the shadow shapes are to each other and their sizes. This way i dont have to rely on hatching to get that light to dark transition.
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.
