I was stuck with a 2B pencil while on a work trip for the first two. I was able to add in darker pencils for my others which helped a lot.

Nice job on these. The photograph is difficult -- lots of little details. Grouping similar values can help create a hierarchy and organize all the elements, and keeping the darkest darks in the foreground will give more depth to the image.
Areas of contrast will draw your eye so by strategically placing lights against darks, you can command the eye to move where you want it to go.
Hope that helps :)

My attempt at the assignment, but something seems really off, i can't point my finger on what
The only thing "off" I see is the window. There's depth at the bottom of the window where the sill goes back into the wall, but it's flush at the top. The top should actually be recessed, as well

So, I heard you wanted interesting shapes of Seal... Some of my lighting isn't great. I'm traveling for work right now.

I did the thing...
Left some notes and plum lines in there to understand the route I took

I found the assignment both fun and hard at the same time. At least hard in the sense that it's hard to break down an animal under 10 shapes without it looking like a 7 year old's drawing
Hi ! This is great job on the shape design ! especially on the eagle, fish, chicken and bears. I feel that you did not simplify enough on the buffalo, red pandas and the hippo.
Even if it is not the purpose of the exercise, I think you should try keeping comfident lines. Like during the line exercise maybe searching the lines very lightly and then when you're happy with the design, the proportions and stuff, you can go back with harder lines. It will help you to keep working on line quality without loosing the sence of the current exercise.
About the 7 years old's drawing, I think that designing shapes (avoid symmetry, using CSI etc.) and having comfident line makes a huge difference.

With so many artists to pick from, I was hoping to have time for more before the deadline. Here's some studies I did for Glen Keane and Frank Frazetta
