The arrows, contour lines, texture analysis and intersections are pretty good. Same for the geometric intersections (try to be cautious with the cross hatching though.) However, the organic intersections lack volume, some of those sausages are straight up flat, so I'd say rework those, re-read the exercise page even to refresh your memory a bit, and really try to go for solid shape, that bend and fall but that are not deflated. Really try to think of them as sausages.
Also, I know it take some time and maybe it's a bit hard if you are quarantined but try to find the time to get a fineliner pen, I think it's pretty important to accomodate yourself to it.
Next Steps:
2 filled pages of organic intersections, solid shape, like sausages. Fineliner if possible (it's fine if you don't have one but past this lesson it becomes important). You can send me a DM on the website once you submited your revision.

Actually, I am using a fineliner but it's blue ink

Ah yes sorry. It's more visible on this picture, then everything is fine.
Those shapes are better than in the first one, I think you can move on to lesson 3
Next Steps:
You can move on to lesson 3, good luck !

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.
