Arrows look good, I see you are drawing over your ellipses which is good, textures study page could push the textures harder on the darker side, there isn't much of a transition from the dark side to the light, but the textures on the curved forms look great and have good variety. On your last 2 pages the pile looks good at the bottom, the forms are wrapping around, but towards the top they do not wrap as they should they look stacked on top and flat watch out for that
Biggest critique would be a lot of your boxes are coming out mishaped, I would reccomend slowing down a bit and really trying to make them line up if that kind of vague advice helps at all.

Thank you so much for your critique, all of your advice is very helpful to me!
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
