Struggled with some of the more complicated objects that I attempted but anyways here is my homework for this lesson: http://imgur.com/a/Eoj9v
Edit:I had a general question not really related to this lesson. Where would you recommend starting with color and color theory? Also would it be best to do that traditionally as well or should I wait and get a tablet?

Understood; I redid the homework as you suggested and these ones should be right side up. I ended up filling up the rest of my sketchpad though so I didn't do another page of hybrids: http://imgur.com/a/1mC8O
I found I am still struggling with the non-hooved animals as they all seem to have fairly thick fur that covers up the forms at times. It's usually a lot more clear where the forms are interacting with each other on the hooved animals as their coats of fur are thin. I'm also not quite sure I get the head construction thing still. I tried to build off of the initial circle more but I get the feeling that some of it is still floating in space rather than connecting together properly. This also was particularly the case on the non-hooved animals.
I probably need to work on my pressure control a lot too. Some of ellipses are a bit too dark and it takes away from the actual lines for the form of the shoulders. Anyways, sorry about the lopsided albums.

Got sidetracked so this took way longer than it should have but here is my homework: http://imgur.com/a/x3Igd/all
This was a pretty tough lesson but I definitely see why you had us do a lot of drawings of the same things here as it took me a lot of trial and error to work out the animals to a somewhat decent level. I probably should have drawn a bit bigger too as that made doing the facial details pretty hard.

Here is my homework: http://imgur.com/a/FIWJN/all
I think I did a bit better on this than I did on the plants. I mainly struggled on the legs but even those are okay in most of my pictures. I did struggle on some other things like eyes or a specific shape I needed to draw but you can actually tell what each drawing is this time around so that counts for something I guess.

Thanks for the critique. I definitely think hit or miss describes my plants pretty well. Some of the forms were pretty easy to understand but others really gave me a battle (that I often lost).
Here are more plants as requested. I still think they're kind of hit or miss and I think I still might not be looking at the references long enough.

Admittedly I really struggled with this one. The more complex forms and collections of forms really gave me trouble. My second lay in for instance was a disaster. I also find that I have trouble with some detail on leaves such as the veins. They just don't look quite right to me.
