Okay
Starting with the organic intersections, I think you are moving in the right direction and these are turning out better than the previous ones. I have one suggestion to keep pushing this exercise further and that is to think about the sausages as balloons filled with water, try to think about how they say and slump under the force of gravity, there are a few sausages that seem to bend upwards which makes them feel unnatural. Also, keep working on having each sausage equally sized, you still are drawing a big sausage first and then adding a bunch of smaller ones on top of it.
-Moving on to the animals I think you are moving in the right direction, there are still a few things that you can keep working on and that I wrote on the original critique. The main thing I want to suggest is that you should keep pushing this exercises further, like drawing the internal masses that do not directly affect the silhouette, and trying to push the head construction even further as shown in the demos I sent you. You can keep working on all these issues by yourself ,I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete, good luck!!
Next Steps:

Thanks! Sorry about the sausages and the internal masses.

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.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
