I like the worked. I can see you put a lot of effort. The line works are mostly clean but still bumpy in a few places. The forms are very well placed. I would comment a few points:
Work with shadows. It will help read you drawings a lot better. It will also help separate front from the back.
I saw so many crosshatch that you did. Aesthetically it working but just as uncomfortable says you just a single contour will work better. I will needlessly take over the space. The 3d story has vanished from the drawings. Notice how the ones with less details are the ones looking much flatter.
You need to put more thoughts in you marks. It will help a lot.
Also these exercises are meant to be used a warmup. So, I am thinking you grinded a lot. Just take it slow. I am also doing a lot of drawing like you but taking it easy. I am taking these as warmups or form study.
I also noticed that you are replicating light. Leave it for now. Focus on the marks. Once you control the marks properly creating values is just mark making. It will not be hard once you understand the forms. I would say try to represent the thing with less marks. That way you can have control.
I am not an expert myself. I just draw for recreational purposes but these are things I understood about drawing. So good luck.
Finally great work!!!! Keep it up.
Next Steps:
Move on to the insect drawing.
Also man go big. These are small. Drawing big has its own merits. I like it because the proportion errors are much clearer. And you can put much more details. Your errors will be more visible.
Personally I like it because we can go ham.
Thanks for the feedback. I will try to keep the points you mentioned in mind for the future drawings. Happy learning!
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
