25 Wheel Challenge

Wow I'm finally done! I humbly offer these crude pages.
I won't lie I hated this challenge!! It was my least favourite so hard and very difficult haha!
First things first I didn't end up getting an ellipse guide (would have REALLY helped but I guess my ellipses got a bit better :) ), so I've got some uhh questionable wheels in the bunch...
Now when it comes to texture.... wow that was HARD. I really feel like I didn't capture the texture as you wanted us to, particularly with the bug chunky textures. some of them I felt more like I was drawing patterns instead of volumes but.. I really wasn't sure what else I could do really. I also really simplified some down and almost gave up on others.
Wheel 13 was when I first felt confident like I was making some headway.
However, the wheels with the very tight, uniform patters I found particularly difficult to texture (e.g. wheel 19, it had slanty tire treads, but when I tried to replicate it it looked like I was failing at drawing straight lines)
Wheel 23 was another one where I just had no idea how to do the texture without it looking like a pattern, because of how close the shapes were. How can you draw a cast shadow when the shapes are so close, it ends up looking like a messy pattern anyway? (And then when I try and fill in the shadows they end up looking really messy in ball point) Some of them I just kind of tried implying texture (e.g. wheel 25, 16), which I felt like I Was just cheating the system haha
Looking forward to your feedback! Really need assistance on how to improve these :'(((
