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!
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
