You Definitely don't need to repeat everything. I would say just focus more in the future on hightlighting the stuff that is in front.

I looked at your homework again and I think you're right.

Your homework is good overall, save for a few weaknesses:

1-Arcing lines can be found all over your homework. Here's a tip from the site on how to deal with that:

One approach I've heard to correct this is to consciously arc your line slightly in the opposite direction. The expected result is that this conscious adjustment will compensate for the issue and will result in a straight line that does not arc in either direction. Over time and practice, your brain will associate this motion with a straight line, and eventually you won't have to be quite so conscious of it.

2-the vertical and horizontal lines don't cut the planes into exact halves. Practice them a bit more in your warm ups.

3-practice maintaining the length of the minor axis in ellipse tables a little more in your warm ups

turns out I was the one wrong! what I did in my assignment is that I'd go around the leaf with my pen and add the details, highlighing all of it in the process and making my drawings visually noisy. here is an example of what I'm talking about http://imgur.com/gallery/JkuKHX9

when I wrote the first comment here I'd initially thought I was adding some kind of gradient to make things look more natural. But even that gradient would look the exact opposite.

the point is: your detailing is correct

The problem can be seen on that page, but it's clearer on the page after it

I looked other people's assignments. It seems that it is optional to not use the center line for narrow branches. But I would say you should use it a bit more.

the leaf on the top left of your leaves page is an example of lack of gradient.

Hey there Lemon,

I said on Discord that you have two main weaknesses and I later found an additional one

1- Visible tails in compound stroke:

this is probably due to the fact that you may need a bit more practice with controlling your lines. If we look at the first mushroom for instant, we can see the line on the right side of the stalk is overshooting too much on the top end, way more than what is probably expected of you at this level. Also you should add more ellipses to your branches & stalks. Not only does that make it easier to get the lines right, but also because it makes those branches and stalks more 3D.You can notice how the lack of ellipses is making the stalks of the plant on your 2th page look 2-Dimensional.

2-Ellipses:

It's obvious how your ellipses in some plants don't match the size of the stalk or branch. Mainly because you don't use the center line in narrow branches. but even with the branches that you utilized the center line to draw, you seem to have a general problem with ellipses. This is more evident in your mushrooms.

3- Details on leaves

I don't think you drew enough of them on your leaves. Are they considered optional details? But in the cases you did draw them, there was no gradient between the dark shade of the details and the shade of the leaves, which looked a bit odd.
