Here are my reattempts, for the organic intersections I tried to focus more on angling the shadows with a light source and stretching them down forms but ended up with issues in their own right there: https://imgur.com/a/lWUq7YC
I think much of my problem is I haven't figured out how to draw organic forms "head-on", only really from the side, hence I had problems drawing those perpendicular to lengthwise forms.
On the subject of textures I'd like to say I was using that technique for drawing line-like narrow shadows, otherwise I had many issues I hope to remedy with the 25 textures challenge, though I feel my understanding is so lacking I'd need some help in that regard.
