All of your exercises are really good, so well done!

These are small flaws that I have noticed:

In the dissection exercise try to use shadows to define even better the texture.

In the form Intersections exercise you have messed up some intersections but that's normal (try to visualize the intersections in your mind, in three dimensions).

In the Organic Intersections exercise don't be afraid to cast the right shadows (the shadows are too thin).

That's all, your exercises were very good! Keep going and don't forget the 50 percent rule: at least half of the time you spend drawing must be devoted to drawing purely for its own sake.

Keep going!

Thank you very much for your time and pointing out the points to improve.

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

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.
