Hi BeeseChurger123, I'll be reviewing your homework. Let's see:

Organic Forms with Contour Curves:

The curves describe the turning of the organic form well enough, but they almost never overshoot the edges, and feel a bit stiff as a result. Read this again. Sometimes your curves look fine even without the overshooting, but most of the time they don't accelerate enough as they approach the edge, so they lose a bit of roundness.

Also remember that the sausages should be like two spheres linked by a tube; you tend to squash or elongate the ends a bit. Take a look at this again, so you keep that in mind. Drawing little poles on them can also help to discern it's orientation.

Insect Drawings:

Your basic constructions look good enough; a thing that could help you in the future is to draw the intersections between the head, thorax and abdomen, as that reinforces the 3D illusion and allows you to think of them in that way as you start adding forms on top of them. Like in this example.

And since we're looking at that demo, remember that your legs start as simple sausages, and then you add forms to them. Yours got better with time (the fly legs are specially nice), but towards the end you kind of gave up trying to make them look like sausages first, and started to rely solely on observation; your lobster is really telling in that sense. Drawing the intersections on the legs will also play a big role in making them feel three dimensional.

The added masses can be improved too, if you make them follow the contour of the sausages, instead of falling flat, like in the legs of your beetle. Your butterfly has better masses in that sense, but some of the forms are still just pasted over like a sticker. This image is very descriptive about the way one should add masses.

Most of the shells and similar structures look well constructed as well, but don't forget that they also have contours of their own, and so, be very careful when adding contour lines. A lot of your problems come from contour lines added without much thought about how they describe the form they are placed into.

Also, remember that the underside of the insect has it's own structures and added forms too; in drawings like the fly or the ant, there are masses missing up and down the insect. They're not a lot, but they are there, and so, you should add them on top of the base construction, thinking of them in the same way as in the legs example.

Like, in the scorpion, you didn't break down the forms in the "belly" and there are forms missing near the head, and so, the belly looks like it's a literal box, which we know it's not the case. The basic form is "boxy", but it doesn't have corners or anything like that. And the head still looks like a sphere connected to a box, which, again, it's not the case. And that ties in with the next thing: lineweight.

Your lineweight is good most of the time, but when you apply it, it should help you distinguish which forms are on top of which. For example, on your scorpion, the lineweight on the corner of the box near the head makes it look like that's what is on top, and the added forms are inside, somehow. A lighter line on the box and a bit more of lineweight on the sections of the shell that overlap with the box should help with that (don't overdo it either).

I think that's it, I'll leave you with a couple of revisions. Put special emphasis on the way your basic forms and added forms interact with each other, and the way that the contour lines and intersections turn around circular shapes. I'll ask for:

• One page of Organic Forms with Contour Curves. Apply all the corrections, make them like two spheres connected by a tube, try to overshoot the curves a little to make sure they accelerate towards the end. Make a little pole so we can see where they're looking towards.

• Two insect drawings, (one page each) without any detail. As I said, put special emphasis on the intersections and contour lines at the start; remember that we need to feel that the basic forms are interacting with each other in space, before moving on. Then, be very careful when adding forms on top of them; think of how they wrap around the different surfaces, and how they interact with other added forms near them. Finally, use lineweight to clarify which forms are on top of which.

That's it, if you have any questions, I'll be around to answer them. Good luck!
