To start, generally imgur is the main one we recommend. Usually it's pretty reliable (although as you noticed it isn't always without its issues), and it is the easiest for us to navigate when giving critiques. If of course it continues to give you trouble in the future, you can always use whatever image host is most comfortable for you. Google photos, google drive, dropbox, etc. are all things people use, although they are a little less convenient for us when giving critiques.

Starting with your arrows, you've done a pretty good job of drawing them here in most cases such that they flow smoothly and confidently. There are a few places where your lines get a little hesitant and wobbly at first, but you seem to fix this one your own. The only other thing I want you to keep an eye on is that the gaps between the zigzagging sections should be getting narrower as we look farther back in space, due to perspective and foreshortening. Be sure to exaggerate this, as shown here, to better capture the sense of depth in the scene.

Moving onto your organic forms with contour lines, initially you don't seem to adhere to the characteristics of simple sausages, but as you move through the set you seem to become more aware of this, and to put more effort into keeping the ends of your sausages roughly equal in size. There are a few little issues here and there, where some ends get a bit bigger than the other, or where you end up with a little bit of pinching through the midsection, but I am overall pleased to see that you caught the issue yourself, and worked to correct it.

For the most part your contour ellipses are drawn okay, although there is a little bit of hesitation that causes them to get just a little bit stiff at times. Always remember to draw these using the ghosting method, and from your shoulder, in order to keep them tight, confident and consistent. For the most part I can see these getting better, but there are also places in your contour curves where they start to get more hesitant and deformed. This is something I most often see when a student accidentally forgets, and draws from their wrist instead.

One last thing to keep an eye on for this exercise is that right now you appear to be drawing your contour lines all with the same degree. The degree of a contour line basically represents the orientation of that cross-section in space, relative to the viewer, and as we slide along the sausage form, the cross section is either going to open up (allowing us to see more of it) or turn away from the viewer (allowing us to see less), as shown here.

Continuing onto your texture analyses, I think you've got a great start here. You've done a great job of focusing purely on intentionally designed shadow shapes, and you've used them to control the density of your textures effectively. You've even done a pretty good job of transitioning from that solid bar of black on the left side of the gradient into your texture, although in the bottom row we can still kind of see its edge. You continue to do a pretty solid job with this throughout the dissections - you're wrapping a variety of textures around those rounded forms, and you're mostly focusing on those cast shadow shapes instead of falling into the trap of outlining them. There are a few places where you do end up relying a little more on outlines, like the individual feathers, but all in all this is coming along quite nicely.

Moving onto your form intersections, there are a few things I want to remind you of. Firstly, remember that you are not to create small groupings of forms, as you did on all of your pages. You should be creating one continuous group of intersecting forms for each individual page. Secondly, also note that you should be avoiding forms that are more stretched out (like longer cylinders) as explained here. Thirdly, you should be taking more care to draw through all of your ellipses, as discussed back in lesson 1.

As a whole there are a lot of small things you need to pay attention to, both in terms of instructions from this exercise, as well as things we've covered from previous lessons. There are definitely cases where I can see that you aren't using the ghosting method consistently as well, which is an incredibly important aspect of this course as a whole.

Now, moving on from that, when it comes to the intersections themselves, I am glad that you've made ample attempts at trying to figure them out. This exercise is first and foremost about having students construct forms such that they feel cohesive and consistent within the same space (which you did okay, although the issues I listed above certainly worked against you), and introducing students to thinking about how the forms relate to one another in 3D space, and how those relationships can be drawn on the page. We don't expect them to be correct just yet - we just want to plant a seed that will develop as we continue to explore this concept throughout the rest of the course.

While I'm not going to ask you to redo this exercise, I do think there is a lot of room for improvement on the first aspect - drawing the forms so they feel solid, and generally following the instructions more closely.

Lastly, your organic intersections are coming along well. You've done a good job of drawing the forms such that they interact as forms in 3D space, rather than as flat shapes stacked on a page, and you've done a good job of establishing an illusion of gravity in how they slump and sag over one another. The only suggestion I have is that in the future, try to keep the forms roughly the same size. Don't draw big 'mother' forms with a bunch of little babies, as this kind of forces you into specific kinds of arrangements.

All in all, you do have some areas where you have room for improvement, so be sure to keep what I've said here in mind. I will however mark this lesson as complete.
