Heya!
Mistakes were made, but I'm pretty happy overall. I went definitely too dark on the textures, working on polishing them too much, so I'll watch out for that at the very least. Also, the form intersections gave me such a headache, ha ha!
Glad to hear your feedback!
Arrows are pretty varied in general. only thing I can say is that you can exaggerate them more by making them grow more exponentially. Make sure they also don't crop and fill inside the page properly as well.
organic forms are pretty good as well. Some have their ends a bit pointy, so don't forget that the ends should be balls. But they're pretty close.
textures are great overall. You said your textures are a bit dark but it's better than having their shadow shapes not filled in completely. So good job there!
form intersections are good too. Nice confident lines, and the forms are solid. The only thing you're missing is that the form's foreshortening is inconsistent. To make this more manageable, draw them with shallow foreshortening. I understand you trying to vary the boxes by adding one and two point perspective on them but for the purpose of the exercise, the main objective is to make forms feel like they are on the same scene so they need similar foreshortening. If you want varying boxes, do it in your warm-ups with organic perspective, boxes on a string, etc. What is said takes precedence over the example shown.
and lastly, organic intersections feel super solid. Only thing to say is some forms are a bit long. So remember to avoid forms that are too long and snake-like. Also on first page, the rightmost sausage looks like its going to fall. Remember in this exercise the forms are supposed to be stable so try to imagine them on its final resting point before drawing it.
Overall, pretty good job. Marking this as complete. Good luck with lesson 3 and keep up the good work!

Hey! Thanks a lot for taking the time to look at my work, and for the feedback!
I actually agree with all that you've said, and I'll try to avoid making the same mistakes again.
Have a great day!
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).
