Contours:
OK
Arrows:
most of them are tilted weirdly, try to get second line aligned to the top one similarly on all turns, it might be easier to do few arrows where you draw curve -> height lines -> curve instead of 2 curves then height
Texture: yeah it's hard one though I think it's good enough as of Lesson 2
Static intersections:
this exercise is very hard, you can try getting some free 3D software (like Blender) or finding some online tool to check how simple forms intersections look like cause now your intersection line does not belong to both forms surfaces in most places, though it was not the main goal of the lesson keep this in mind for future lessons
Organic intersection:
sausages look like they're weightless and float above each other just touching, try to make them wrap around other ones, like the center line and sausage itself should follow the cross-contour of the sausage below it
I suggest you practice Arrows/ribbons and organic intersections before moving on (you will need this knowledge to draw leaves and fungus in the next lessons)
Next Steps:
Redo arrows and organic intersections homework

Hi! Thank you for the critique. Here is more pages of organic intersctions and arrows, I've took some time to practices and do more than a few and now I do feel more comfortable seeing them. Not sure if its perfect but I guess theyre better :D https://imgur.com/a/oBATbVb 5:43 PM, Saturday January 16th 2021
They are way better than before, I think you can move on to lesson 3

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.
PureRef
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.
