Starting with your arrows, I think they're fine. I would recommend to shrink the farther edge A LITTLE (not dramatically), at least the necessary to make it look noticeable that it's 3d
In your sausages with ellipses, I would advise to ghost a little more your ellipses. But the degree is actually good. Now, in your sausages with contour lines, I would recommend to draw them a little more rounded.
All your textures are pretty fine -they are highly detailed and all-; however, in your fish scales, you used dots (in the texture itself, not the gradient); just remember to focus on cast shadows. In your gradients, I think you could do the "sparse section" a little bit "emptier", with less visual cramming. So...remember to use the cast shadows, essencially. That goes for all your texture, but looks like you can handle it very well.
In your form intersections, there are some forms where you drew the intersection line in just one surface. Remember that it has to be in both surfaces. Follow one surface, then the other, and so on. But remember to clarify which form is intersecting which, the one that is being intersected is the one whose surface you are going to follow mostly. Obliously, don't forget about the other surface, too. Yes, it's tricky, but practice makes the master.
And lastly, in your organic intersections, remember to keep your sausages simple -sphere+tube+sphere, with a consistent width- don't forget that structure, nor distortionate the sausage too much. I think you added too many contour lines. Keep in mind that a bunch of contour lines -not well drawn- can't make the work of one nice one. It's not necessary to draw a lot, just the necessary to convey the 3d of the sausage.
So, I encourage you to continue practicing the intersections (both of them: forms and sausages) exercises, and ghost more your lines. But good work!
Finally, I'd like to say that this is my point of view, I am also a student, and I may be wrong, but I hope this helps. Keep practicing!

How to Draw by Scott Robertson
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
