Hello, I’ll be doing your critique today!
Organic Arrows
Extremely nice sense of perspective and depth; in some of the arrows you’ve drawn the hatched lines on the outside, we’re trying to indicate a shadow that helps add to the depth like so:

Organic forms with contour lines
The ellipses are drawn well and they curve along with the sausage well. But they don’t rotate like I’d expect them to. This might help:

Remember that the angle of the ellipse changes depending on the view:

The contours have less of an issue with the angles but can be improved still.
Texture
Good analysis, I the last analysis the darkness is starting from left, yet the texture is darkening on the right, but it's fine.
Dissections
Good textures, they wrap around the form well and break the silhouette well.
Form Intersections
It seems like you understand the concept, but some of them (mainly the third page) don’t have the intersections drawn on them.
Organic Intersections
Great sausages, they feel almost real on the first page! Nice shadows on the first page, they seem a little too thin on the second page though.
I hope this helped!
Next Steps:
Redo the 2 pages of Organic Forms with Contour lines (keep the angles in mind and ghost the lines until you are ready)
Complete the missing intersections on the Form Intersections exercise
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
