I'll make it clearer. Your cast shadows are very thin and timid!
Most submissions I've critiqued have cast shadows that nicely wrap around the organic form underneath but because your cast shadows are too thin, they end up making the surface they are sitting on very flat.
Next Steps:
The previous revision is still required, cast shadows are a very useful tool but if you apply them this way you will only end up damaging your
ah okay. This is not coming from a place of defensiveness. I'm not precious about these studies and I'm not trying to argue. I just want to have a good understanding of the feedback so I could better apply it in revisions.

See how he pools together clusters of cast shadows? There are so many nuances you miss with your approach to the exercise!
As long as you are aware of them it's fine though, try to be mindful of them when you observe your references!

Try to apply these concepts on your own
I think I understand now but I might still have a hard time applying it ( I guess you'll be the judge of that)

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).
