Arrows
Pretty good job, you can try to make the arrows grow a bit more exponentially, and remember that you can clarify overlaps with superimposed lines to add lineweight
Organic forms
Pretty good too, a bit of wobble of some of the ellipses, but pretty good overall. Some of the ellipses aren't shifting too much, so try to think more about it in next attempts
Textures
Pretty good overall too, some of your dissections aren't wrapping around quite too much, so try to be careful with that, and you got a very complex sausage form in one of your dissections, remember they should be simple, 2 identical balls connected with a tube of consistent width.
Form intersections
Don't do any kind of form shading, (you did it on the spheres) , don't repeat lines even if they're wrong, and remember that this exercise's main objective is to draw forms with constent foreshortening, to do this it's easier with shallow foreshortening forms, so focus on that on next attempts.
Organic intersections
Feels pretty 3d overall, but don't forget you've got to draw through your forms, even if you can't see them. Your shadows of the sausages are kind of sticking to their forms, so be careful with that as well, this mistake is written in the mistakes section of this exercise, so you can check it out.
Next Steps:
Pretty good job overall so I'm marking this as complete. Congratulations on finishing lesson 2! Your next assignment is lesson 3, good luck!

You have done such an amazing job, keep up the good work and keep practicing. I really like your texture drawings.
Next Steps:
Do remember to keep practicing.

Sakura Pigma Microns
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
