Don't have much time right now so I'll give you my abridged thoughts. Any one else wants to come and give theirs is welcome to.
Arrows: Looks good. Experiment with foreshortening in the future: https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/4/step2
Organic forms: These are ok. They feel too stiff thought try more of a curve next time and make sure you're shifting the degree of the contours.
Textures: These are good. Always remember texture is about capturing the shadows that the forms make, not the forms themselves.
Form intersections: The forms themselves look fine but you did the intersecting lines wrong. Try rewatching the demo a few times to understand more.
Organic intersections: You stuck with doing a small amount in the easiest ways to draw them. They feel like they're floating. And not very 3d. Try drawing some that both sit in front and behind forms.

This is much better. You can feel the weight of the sausages. You did however, completely ignore cast shadows which is another important part of the sausages. Be sure to change the degree of the ellipses based on whether or not they are moving away from the viewer. I would like you to try 1 more time.

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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
