You actually have only few things to work on but you made pretty much the same things in each exercise so dont get this critique only for the specific tasks but an overall advice. -
Starting off in the arrow section your arrows dont look like they have consitent width. These arrows has only one thickness. So it supposed to go thin to thick consistently.
-
I guess you want to get the most out of each page so you drew lots of arrows which is a great thing. However in this exercise i would draw only 3-5 arrrow and experiment with the space such as fore-shortening or size change. The distance between each curve is important as well.
-
Good job on considering the angle of the arrow tips.
-
-
Your marks can get improved.
-
Always use the gosting method
-
make sure you practise your line quality everyday for 30 mins if posible.Because your lines are wobly and you need some experience to improve. Your instrument should feel like an extention of your body. Cool analogy right XD It makes me motivated
-
use line weight to show what is in front of what
-
Lets move on to the organic form w/ contour
-
First of all you dont need that much of contour lines for short CL
-
you used the same C set for each for in ellipse page which show that all the forms are in the same position which is not something we want. Varity is important in those exercises
-
One of the C job is to refine the form. Since those forms are not flat and actually pretty bold, I would use rounder ellipses. of course if it is convinient to the perspective.
-
You tent to flatten the object.
-
you almost never change the C degree . Think of how the form is oriented in space is it faceing you or the opposite.
-
You can draw the C by comparing it to its neighboors.

dissection sorry i dont know much about it
-
dont outline the texture only the cast shadow
-
if you have digital tools i highly reccomend you to break down the image first,such as whats the shape, how is the flow in it. dont forget all the textures have some kind of rythm in it.
-
dont pass the silluate. It is one of the strongest tool. take it to your advantage.
5.form intersection. sorry IDK much about it either
- use line weight because your shapes look like they are gonna fall apart or they are only wires instead of an actual 3d form with volume.
6.organic intersection. shadows must follow the light source. Good placement can be upper right or left.
I was just trying to get a new avatar then I lost control. (•?•)? can you like my critique please I want a new avatar so much. Love you good luck with your art journey.

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.
Drawabox-Tested Fineliners (Pack of 10, $17.50 USD)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
