With your organic arrows, the spacing of the near and close could be pushed more, otherwise they look very nice.
Your sausage forms are quite wobbly but it looks like you fixed that up with your dissection forms.
The gradation on your texture analysis is a bit too abrupt and rushed looking, you want the forms to creep out from being in full shadow, not have thick black lines next to a partially shaded shape.
Your form dissections look nice, you missed a few opportunities to wrap the texture around the form, like with the "back well" and "bark" textures.
Your form intersections look fine, but your organic intersections have a bit of a clingy shadow, you want the shadows to wrap around the forms they fall on, and vary as the distance between the forms change.
Overall everything looks good, keep up the good work!

Texture analysis was actually really hard for me, I know it was bad but you pointing out the mistakes made me understand what I should work on. In organic intersections, I realised that I placed some shadows in wrong places and was like 'oops, this is ink, no turning back now.' and had to roll with it as if it was correct. Will definitework on that. Thank you so much!
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
