Hi, Let'as not waste any time and start.

Your arrows countour elipses and countuor lines look good.

Your texture analysis looks good your used a few hactiching lines in your crumpled papper but other than that everything looks good.

Form intersections look exceptional.

Organic form intersections could use some thought when it come to cast shadows. First pick a light source and imagine how big shadow would be and how thw shadow would curve on top other forms.

Next Steps:

1 page of organic disections. Please give a bit more thought on the cast shadows.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thank you for the critique! Appreciate it very much, I'll follow your advice, you're right I was confused with the cast shadows. Thanks for the tip as well about cast shadows, I never thought about deciding how big my shadows will be in my drawings.

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.
