Looks good! The arrows are superb!
You could stand to draw through some of the larger contour ellipses all the way around the second time. You also have a chance to vary the degree of the ellipses more. The countour curves could also benefit from increasing degree as the sausage moves away from the viewer.
The texture studies could benefit from making the detail shadows(ex: the T's inside the cauliflower) darker on the left and disappear more rapidly. The orange skin is a great example of you doing that!
Form intersections are great! Looks like you might have cut of a corner or two in https://i.imgur.com/rRPsSER.jpeg with the top row of boxes. I don't worry about this too much, since you seem to have followed the surfaces for the rest of them
Your overlapping form shaddows could follow the contours of the surfaces more. Exaggerating a cast shadow in that way can help convey volume of the underlying form more than if you were following the shadows found in reality.
Overall solid job and happy to mark this complete!

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.
