Organic Forms

  • Fluid and mostly consistent, only issue is a few of your curves not fully connecting to the forms but that's pretty common.

Insects - Well done overall, forms are well proportioned, solid and neat. Excellent work in particular applying the Lesson 3 techniques on that leaf bug. The legs look great and flow very nicely.

  • For the wasp, the contour curves on the abdomen should wrap around the whole form instead of stopping short.

  • I think the louse could have some additional line weight applied around the head and upper legs. Being at the front they need some darker lines to establish their overall dominance over the rest of the drawing.

  • The filled in shadow on the scorpion looks unnatural around the abdomen/tail. Cutting it right before it curves into the tail would help, so it doesn't bend unusually.

  • Wings on the housefly are a bit flat. I struggled with wings a lot too, but I think seeing them as leaves could help with improving the flow so they're more pointed and equal.

  • Some line weight on the ant antennas would help them stand out more relative to their place in the drawing.

  • Same point on the wings for the insect on image 9 (I can't believe I don't remember its name). Again, give it flow likes leaves.

  • 'Neck area' on the grasshopper is a little flat. Letting those contours fully wrap around it would reinforce the illusion of 3D.

  • Some contour ellipses around the spot between the sections of the legs for the beetle would make them connect better. The thinner ends just sort of loosely attaches to the thicker part without them.

All of these are relatively minor issues that don't significantly detract from forms, but they are things to keep in mind. As a whole these are very well done and you've applied the concepts well. I think you can move on straight ahead, but I suppose maybe you should wait a week or so in case someone offers a deeper critique than I'm really capable of.
