Overall, this is looking a lot better. Where before, I saw you approaching the exercises in the wrong direction, here I believe that you are definitely on the right track. That isn't to say that there aren't any issues with the new version, but I will list the issues that I see later.
First though, I want to remind you not to repeat exercises until they are "good enough". This goes against the grinding rules as stated in lesson 0. Before I saw a generally incorrect approach to things, so I suggested a redo, partially because the exercises weren't achieving their goals and partially because I was concerned you would do all of the exercises in a similar fashion (which would require redoing the entire lesson). However, here I believe the issues will be fixed mostly with practice, and it's against grinding rules to redo exercises to improve things that are improved with practice. So I recommend you keep these exercises to submit for (I assume) official critique, and move on to the other exercises in this lesson.
All of that said, let me briefly talk about the issues I see in these exercises.
Arrows
Your second page of arrows is definitely stronger than your first. I will talk about the issues in the second page only.
-
Your line work is stiff in a few places in the arrows. Drawing curves is definitely hard, just try to not focus on where the curve is going while drawing it, and leave accuracy to the previous stages of the ghosting method.
-
I see a few places where the arrow is pinching or bulging. This will improve with practice, but again, invest more in the preparation stage of the ghosting method, make sure you can "see" a correct second line before trying to draw it.
-
Try to also compress the negative space in the arrows when the arrow is going back into the distance.
Organic Forms
-
I definitely get a sense that you are trying to capture the correct shape of simple sausage forms, and a few do have that characteristic. Of the ones that don't, the major issues that stand out to me are pointed ends (both in that a regular ball wouldn't fit in the ends, and some that actually have corners in the ends), a few that are pinching in the middle where they bend, and a few that have two ends that are not the same size.
-
Your contour curves are not overshooting, curving slightly around the other side of the form. I've linked the part of the common mistakes talking about this here.
-
You are not varying the degrees of your contour ellipses or contour curves. This is also listed as a common mistake, here.
-
Remember that the contour ellipse at the end is still a contour ellipse, this means that it should be close to the degree of the ellipse/curve next to it.
So, a major improvement. I want to restate that you should move on to the next exercises in the lesson, and submit these exercises for critique after you are done the whole lesson. If revisions are necessary, do them at that point. But do not redo these exercises based on my critique above, that gets too much into grinding.
