Hello Stevsouas I'll review your submission
Arrows: in general not too bad although it seems a bit rushed, you did well in drawing the arrows bigger as they get closer to the viewer. However it seems like you have to practice, the size consistency, I manly refer to the first page, and taking the big arrow on the left as an example, where one of the bends of the arrow is bigger than those that follow it.
One other thing is that some of your arrows' edges don't overlap ( I've marked the point where I think they should overlap for you to see https://imgur.com/a/5AvW6Fg, take a look at uncomfortable explanation here: https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/4/step4)
To fix the consistency problem you could draw the arrows in segments with the ghosting method, that way you can see if the size is consistent enough.
Organic forms: good job with keeping the forms simple.
In the counter curves you did well in trying to hook the curves, although you should ghost them a bit more before drawing them, because in two of them you either redrew the hook or the entire line (which you shouldn't do, even if you made a mistake). As for counter ellipses, you did fine, maybe though the shapes of a few of them are a bit dented and some ellipses could use some more ghosting.
Texture.
This part was extremely well made Imo, in particular the asphalt and crumpeld paper really came out well, the transition between the dark and the light is well done, good job!
The dissections are also well drawn, wrapping the forms nicely and breaking the silhouette while also trying to draw the texture implicitly.
About organic intersections
well done, the forms seem to wrap well on one another, although the forms seem a bit rushed, with you correcting/ redrawing some lines of the forms.
Next Steps:
I'll mark it as complete. In the warm ups you do, you should focus on arrows for a while. good job

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
