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.

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.
