No problem, you can always keep doing your warmups if you don't have much time. Overall your work is looking much better, and I can see that you've broken everything down into simpler shapes but first let's talk about your sausages. They are looking much simpler and easier to work with which is correct, the contour curves are beginning to wrap around them in a believable way, but sometimes they overshoot. I have no doubt that this can be corrected with more mileage and practice, so keep at it .
Your shrimp is particularly well done, the additional masses wrap around the existing structure quite well, the other insects are moving in the right direction, as always try to keep breaking these into its more primitive elements rather than trying to capture a lot of things at once, for example when building the segmentation of the abdomen you could benefit from taking more time to plan how to wrap each additional mass to the abdomen. Try to draw each one of them in their entirety and don't let them cut off each other.
Another thing is that when you built the shell of your ladybug you cut into the silhouette of your initial ellipse, this diagramexplains why we should avoid cutting into the silhouette.
When it comes to the legs you should keep building on them, once you have drawn your cabin of sausages as shown here https://imgur.com/7b9rc9e
Okay, I'm pleased with your work so far, I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete, keep working on these things when you get into lesson 5
