I followed the video and experimented a little.

It looks like you're definitely understanding the way those contour and hatching lines work as he demonstrated. Good job there.
It's not necessarily the point of the exercise but I'd love to see you doing more of them and getting the flat value of the in shadow area to match the darkness of those hatch marks. Right now, they kinda feel like stiches like Tim Burton characters. That's not a bad thing but I think it would help you to see more of how the forms read with fully filled in and consistent value. They may read a little differently and you'll learn something.
Using a marker might help so it's only making the one maximum black value. Try filling in those gaps.

I wanted to apply the knowledge learned in class to something outside of the shapes in the video; this is the cover of the Transformers, I traced the outline of Optimus Prime, then I highlighted the lines to improve the line quality and tried to apply crosshatching for the shadows, I don't know if it is noticeable due to the quality of the camera but I think it gave a good result.

Caught my attention here with the DWJ Transformers cover.
Do you feel you gained something from that practice?
