Hello, I’ll be doing your critique today!
Organic Arrows
Good sense of depth and variety of arrows. Nice and smooth lines, the hatching is done well too.
Organic forms with contour lines
The ellipses rotate very well and follow the motion of the sausage great work here!
The contours look a little flat, try to ghost them like you would an ellipse and then when you are ready, draw an overshooting curve.
Texture
These textures… wow
Perfect transition from dark to light, great use of shadows!
Dissections
More amazing textures! They wrap around the forms like they belong there!
Form Intersections
Excellent work! great hatching and intersections!
Organic Intersections
This too is great! You would do great in future lessons!
Next Steps:
Move on to Lesson 3 and keep it up!

Thank you so much for your critique!

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.
Sakura Pigma Microns
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
