That 5-minute study is a doozy!

With digital, i think it is easier to render smooth and uniform values so i will try to focus my comment on on thing that stroke me on your 5’ sphere: some kind of halo effect which i related to some values in your dark mid tones being stronger that your light shadows. Attached is an image where i sampled your image to illustrate

not the fastest but one of my favorites: ballpoint pen. I tried to have fun with the cast shadows to indicate the environment in which lay the spheres

Always an interesting and challenging exercise

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!

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
