Note: I finished this months prior but just wasn't able to submit it immediately. I don't have much thoughts about this considering how long it took me to upload it here. Thank you for taking the time to critique this.

You could use less contour curves on your organic forms, using a lot of them undermines the construction.

Also I don't think necessary to use countour lines on wings as they are mostly flat.

The legs on the jumping spider feel flat, you could construct larger sausages and build on top of them.

Everything else seems consistent, so good job.

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
