I did a page of them.

I had a surprising amount of fun drawing them.

Aha, so you accidentally posted on the wrong account. Sorry for not critiquing yesterday then, but you know how it goes.

I ought to be the one apologizing here, no worries.

Your organic forms do need some work however. You're close to getting them down, but a lot of your contour lines fail to really wrap around the form properly. Instead of wrapping around, they have a tendency of just hitting the edge and stopping, without creating that illusion of continuation.

I believe that I have totally solved this issue. I've redone all my organic forms like those you picked out as correct.

Furthermore however, while your textures weren't necessarily bad, they could be done better.

I feel like I was able to move farther away from just symbolic representation of textures. Although they're not all great, I'm very pleased with some of my textures.

First off, draw through your ellipses a few times - don't try and nail them in one shot. If you do, your form will either be uneven, or in this case, the lines will be chicken-scratchy and bumpy.

I did this, but I had some difficulty making the ellipses look clean. It felt like I was playing it a little fast and loose at first, but I think I improved substantially by the end.

Secondly, don't attempt to draw these in two stages.

That was easy enough to stop.

Use the ghosting technique from lesson 1.

I did this, my straight lines, at least, should be a lot better.

In the lesson, I emphasized the need to avoid forms that are stretched in any one dimension

I did this for the most part. I tried to get my boxes as close to cubes as possible, but my cones and cylinders are noticeably elongated.

Lastly, I think you would benefit immensely from tackling the 250 box challenge.

I've done this, and I'll upload it right after I post this!

Thanks for giving me such a detailed breakdown of my homework and sorry about the account-confusion.
