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!!

Thanks! Sorry about the sausages and the internal masses.
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
