Thanks for the critique. Here are the revisions. I hope I've understood what you wanted me to do.

This is definitely moving in the right direction, but I can see a number of places where you're still building upon your construction by adding 2D shapes, rather than sticking to complete, enclosed, 3D forms as I explained previously when talking about avoiding altering the silhouette. Here I've pointed out where you've used a number of 2D shapes.
In terms of doing this in a way that retains the illusion that what you're constructing is 3D, take a look at the ant head demo I provided previously, and compare it to the way in which you approached your ant's head. In general, you definitely should review the other demos I provided as well.
All in all, these are things you can continue to address into the next lesson. Since you're moving in the right direction here, I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
Next Steps:
Move onto lesson 5.

Thank you. I've looked at the corrections and I now see what you were trying to show me previously. I will continue to work on this.

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.
Ellipse Master Template
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
