Hi Keisari42, I will do what I can to give you some pointers on this lesson
First of all, thank you for actually submitting the reference pictures along with you drawings, it makes it so much easier to critique.
Despite what you said, I actually think your sausages are pretty good! A couple of you tubes end up getting smaller or bigger on one end. Try to think of them as two equally sized balls with a tube connecting them.
For the wasp demo, the basic construction looks good. You did not draw the ribbing and segments on the abdomen and the legs though. I would recommend fully finishing all the tutorial videos like this, because even if it takes a long time to add all those armor plates and little bits of construction, it will be good practice.
You did a very good job here! The insect drawings are very clean. There is not much for me to critique here. The few things that might help you out is to remember to draw the intersections of forms. I I can see that you did this in at least one of your exercises in the legs, but if you had them overlap even more it might be even better. Adding the form intersections, especially in the legs, will make the entire image look more connected and solid. Kind of like this

Every here and there it looks like you get carried away with detail. Remember to draw the shadow shapes and not the outlines of the texture.
There is the occasional spot where it looks like you lost confidence and tried to redraw a form, and it gets messy. Don’t do this. Even if you mess up badly, stick to the line you drew.
That’s it! Move on to lesson 5!
