Yah I have been kinda skimping on the warm up step for the last couple lesson with just doing random construction doodles instead of any reinforcement of the basics; I'll stop that and start doing proper warmups from here on. Anyway here are the requested pictures: https://imgur.com/a/04tFSJq
I'm leaning toward redoing the otter and appending the results at the end of the album; I'll edit the comment if I do

Here are my additional drawings, I wasn't satisfied with a couple of them so I did a couple extra pages: https://imgur.com/a/PpR19J4
I tried concentrating on drawing from my shoulder more and using less hesitant motions, but I'm having trouble maintaining my proportions without slowing down too much, especially on the bendy sausages that are awkward to ghost. I'm also having trouble defining where the limbs meet the body without using too much line weight/shading.
As always thank you for taking the time to critique my work!

Hey Uncomfortable , procrastinated too much on this one, but here's my submission for lesson 5: https://imgur.com/a/0eQQXYR
The orders a bit weird because I alternated between the hoofed and non-hoofed animals for the mammal pages. Thanks for taking the time to look through these!

Thanks for the advice! I think the quality of the last page was because of a multi-day gap in drawing practice I had before doing it; something that happens more often than I would like. I'll work on being more consistent with that in the future lessons.

Hey Uncomfortable , a month late, but here's my submission for the 4th Lesson.

Thanks for the advice, especially with the tip on 3D additive over subtractive detailing; that's something I haven't thought of. I'll continue practicing the plant stuff in parallel with the next lesson.

Hey Uncomfortable , here's my submission for the 3rd lesson; I did a couple extra plant pics since I wasn't satisfied with some of them. The fifth plant picture is a bit weird because I tried to readjust my line pressure to stop destroying my micron tips, so everything came out a bit off. Also its duplicated with a camera pic due to the scanner messing it up too much.
I'm still not a 100% sure about my progress so far. I'm having a lot of trouble applying the crinkled effect to leaves, especially with the pumpkin pic. I also feel a lot of my linework for highly overlapping leaves/petals keeps coming out really cluttered with the overlapping leaves and contour lines. I also haven't done a lot of texture work, but I have been practicing a bit with the solid black fills to try to reduce the clutter.

Hey Uncomfortable , here's my submission for the 2nd Lesson. Scanner ate some of the edges so some of the shapes may be cut off

I finally got this lesson done after procrastinating on it a wee bit too long during your break month: http://imgur.com/a/esOcI
My arrows are weird, the textures are all over the place, and I still don't know the best way to draw a pyramid, but otherwise I think I'm improving.
As always, thank you for taking the time to look over my work!

Thank you again for taking the time to critique my work so many times!; I feel like I did have a mini-epiphany with the last page on how there's more to the construction masses than the silhouette which I feel wouldn't have happened without doing some organic intersections as a warmup. The size of the animals on the page is more hesitation on accidentally having half a leg or something hanging off the page but I guess that is just something that will get better with practicing proportions.
Anyway off to grind cylinders!
