This took a little while, as I wasn't very happy with a lot of my work. I have done more pages than necessary at some points and apologize for any inconvenience. I appreciate any feedback I can get, especially on the texture dissections and organic intersections.
Hello, congratulation on finishing lesson 2. I'll be only pointing out the thing that needs to be improved and Here are my observations:
Try to apply more perspective to your organic arrows. Some of your arrows have really shallow amount of Foreshortening and there is one that has a reverse amount of foreshortening.
If you want to have arrows that overlap with each other, please establish some hierarchy with line weight so it's easier to see what's going on with the arrow.
Add line weight around the area of overlaps, which means the top, side, and bottom. I've seen a lot of your arrow overlaps either Don't have a line weight or only add line weight on one of the edges. When adding lineweight to the arrows, they should only be done with 1 line. i've seen some of them have broken flow or feels like chicken scratchy, so make sure to take your time when ghosting them.
Please be mindful of your hatching lines, hatching lines are not second-class lines, and we should treat them with the same care as our construction lines. I've seen all of them put down with not much of consideration, for example, there is no transition from dark to light and the hatching line does not follow the plane of the arrow.
Here i make some diagram to make things clearer :)
For the organic form with contour ellipses, I'm not really sure if you lost count of how much you draw through or if you trying to fix the ellipses, if it's the latter then don't do that. Keep the ellipses even if it's bad no matter how bad you wanna fix them and make sure to draw through your ellipses two or three times only. The same goes for the contour curves.
I'm sorry I can't read your question on the page :'(
From my observation the only issue here is about the gradation from dark to light, i seen too many sparse in the area that supposed to be dense.
some textures do not wrap well enough which causes the forms to feel flattened.
Please take your time to plan out and ghosting your lines. Don't be scared to make a big chunk of the forms that fills out the whole page because the main goal of this exercise is to make all the forms on the picture resemble that they share the same scene. The intersection here is only icing on the cake that if you get it wrong is not even a problem.
I have seen the cast shadow does not wrap the form they're being cast on. The shadows have to follow the form of object they're being casted on, not the form of the object that casts it.
I think that's all from me, I hope my feedback can be a help. overall you've done a great job. With this, I will mark your lesson as complete. ;)

Lesson 3: Applying Construction to Plants
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
