i wonder if you revise your videos or just finish and post them? Dice Tsutsumi is a very wrong example of an analogous color choice! please correct me if i am wrong if anyone reads this. thanks

Not sure I'm being accurate enough as I feel I put the circles down randomly (or maybe it's intuitively?)
I think you would gain putting attention on your cross contour ends and not being too lazy with them as Stan says in his video. It looks better, when you suggest the beginning of the turn behind than stopping with a sharp edge on or close to the contour

I started this exercise with the ninja mantis with which I had fun trying to curl the antennae. The drunk elephant was fun more because I liked creating this unbalanced gesture than because of difficulty of the cross contours. I didn’t draw big enough to be able to do a clean j9b of the cranium. Doing the elephant ears, I thought about a third subject: drapery with cross contours but no shading
It's the simplest of your drawings but I really like the fabric (towel?) sketch, maybe because it is so simple. And the POV on the mantis is fantastic!

These all look awesome. The way you’re varying your linework is beautiful.
These are really good cross-contour line drawings.

Not a great fan of tanks but still tried one. Actually when I was studying the topic, I realised that the real level 1 cars are the Flintstone kind of cars. A slight upgrade would be an articulated Flintstone car. I actually believe a real car if it is moving is a real level 2 topic: you have to draw 4 different cylinders with their centres being properly in perspective.
interesting also I found was drawing a bottle with its label: quite a few different ellipses to figure out and align properly.

Trying another one, more ambitious, with cylinders going along every axis. One thing I struggled with is how to join the chimney cylinders to the engine cylinder - could someone please help?
Also, I feel like the perspective is too drastic and it makes the whole thing distorted. Should I have put the vanishing points further away?
Great work on the intersection of the 2 cylinders which is not obvious. I would have tried to continue slightly the line instead of having a sharp stop on the vertical line; kind of ghosting the continuation like for all other ellipses

i love trucks - i constructed a generic semi with saddle.
I don't love tanks too much tho. They are way too present these days for my taste. May they all rust in peace soon.

Much more difficult than I expected. Had to redo and fiddle a lot. And this level 2 is even more fun
Pretty cool. When I looked at your attempt at model 2 my impression was that the face was too flat, that the eyes where on the same plane as the nose, instead of being in a recess as they should be. I noticed that you have correctly indicated the plane bellow the brow ridge and the plane of the cheek bone but somehow didn’t manage to put the eye in the right place. I believe this is because you didn’t capture properly the planes needed to show the nose on top of those 2 planes and ended up putting the right eye too far on the right. Final comment the mouth is a cylinder or in the context of this exercices a box on top of the face plane. Rather than long text, I have tried to Illustrate my point with a sketch on top of yours automatically when you construct things that way, you will avoid the mistake mentioned in the other comment of having the left eye too big
