Very nicely done! These look fantastic and seem to be all done well within the set guidelines. You're sense of form and shadow on the floppy forms homework is very very solid and absolutely conveys a realistic space. The 3 texture study is the only homework I could find any issues with, the first and third feel as though they were less drawn from direct observation and more drawn from memory. Possibly try looking back and forth between your drawing and your reference even more to capture the organic irregularities of the shadows. I do think you did quite well on the tree bark texture though. The texture dissection is alo very well done and they all seem to contour well to the forms too. Fantastic work all around.
Next Steps:
Have fun moving on to CONSTRUCTION!!! dun duN DUN DUN!!!!! :P
Oh also! Eventually doing the 25 texture challenge would likely be very beneficial though I wouldn't wait until that's done to move on to the other lessons. I think interspersing it or simply being extra mindful would suffice more than well enough.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
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).
