Overall you're making a good attempt! but there are a few important issues I've catched:
Starting with your arrows, the main issue with them is that they're a bit wobbly. Remember you should be drawing them with a confident ghosted line line any of the other lines. It's hard but make sure the line it's at least confident.
Second issue is that the spaces between folds and the size of the arrows aren't growing.
The organic forms are confident, which is great, and you got some there that are pretty good like the on on the bottom right on the first page, but you're making them pretty complex; some bulge, others take several turns and others pinch a bit. All the forms you draw should be as described here.
In textures you're doing a good job observing, but you have a tendency to rely on lines, so give a shot to [this technique](

Form intersections is a good attempt, but some of your boxes have clear divergences on them, make sure you plan them enough so it doesn't happen. If you aren't sure about how to avoid it follow this step by step, it should help.
Organic intersections have the same issue as the organic forms, they're confident, but you're doing some squished forms and some pretty long and complex forms, so remember to stick to simple ones. And remember you can add lineweight to overlaps, it will make the picture much more easier to understand.
Before moving on I want you to do:
-1 page of organic arrows
-1 page of organic forms with contour ellipses
-1 page of boxes (3-4 boxes will be enough)
-and 1 page of organic intersections
Good luck and keep it up! You're almost there!
Next Steps:
-1 page of organic arrows
-1 page of organic forms with contour ellipses
-1 page of boxes (3-4 boxes will be enough)
-and 1 page of organic intersections
Thanks so much, took me longer than expected to get down to it.
I hope its better, i tried to keep your suggestion in mind thats all i can say.
Fantastic job! You've followed everything I said and now all of them look much better!
Just a few things I want to comment on:
Your organic forms are much better, but they're still a bit pointy at the ends at times, you're probably aware of it, but just in case try to be very conscious that the ends of the organic forms are balls, so they need to be very rounded.
The degrees on the organic forms don't change much as well, try to be more conscious about it and remember that even if an organic form is straight the degrees will shift, because the relationship between each section of the organic form with the viewer changes.
Lastly, on the organic intersections, again, much better job, but just keep in mind that you need to draw through forms completely, even if you can't see them.
Like I said you've done great progress, so I'll be marking this as complete, good luck in lesson 3!

Lesson 3
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
