For your organic forms with contour ellipses, make sure the width of the oval changes with the perspective of the form. For example, the second one down from the right appears to have ovals of all the same size, but based on how it's rotating the middle one should be the skinniest and the two to the sides should get slightly larger than the middle one, before reaching the ones are the ends, which will be the widest (does that make sense?)
Seems like you figured it out by the organic forms with contour lines exercise, so no need to do revisions.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!
I made that mistake with the contour ellipses because I wasn't yet full aware of how the organic form sat in space; I started understanding during the contour curves and mostly during the dissections and the organic intersections.
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
