    good work, there are a few things i would like to point out though

    with your branches i feel like you should have taken it a bit slower and ghosted a bit more over the old lines especially around the areas with curves.

    sometimes your lines get a bit dense in your construction so i would recommend more line weight on the lines that are in the front/not overlapping

    and finally i would say to keep a closer eye on proportions i would recommend to measure from the top of the page down,

    also don't beat yourself up over the potato plant it happens to all of us

    Next Steps:

    Lesson 4

    overall i think you did pretty good

    -Arrows

    i noticed that some of your shading is backwards so i would recommend finishing it entirely and then shading it

    i also notice that near the end of your arrows the lines start to curve so I'd watch out for that,

    -Leaves

    pretty good, i would say to pay more attention to how the details/textures wrap around the form in 3d space

    -Branches

    pay more attention to how your ellipses turn in 3d

    ghost over the lines that you already made more

    -Plants

    You were supposed to do more of your own without using the videos

    overall they're pretty good though but i would recommend you draw bigger

    some of your textures are kind of dense so i would focus more on the shadows

    Next Steps:

    Some more plant drawings in your own time

    and then lesson 4

    honestly really disappointed in myself i wasn't really able to do better but i understand more now,

    if this is still not good enough i will gladly do another revision. https://imgur.com/NGTLhME

    it looks like you understand boxes pretty well

    I don't know if your pen is going out or if your not holding it high enough but try to hold it at a higher angle for your ellipses and try to execute a bit faster.

    for arrows try to do less ink in the background and thicker as it comes to the viewer also try to think about how the lines would be closer in the background and spread out as they come closer to the viewer, also execute your hatching on them from the shoulder ghosting through them.

    ellipses are good but a bit messy probably take a bit more time (i feel like you got this by the time you got to your textures)

    textures are really good but i would recommend to out-line them even if they're small

    and try to make shadows wrap a bit more on your sausages

    good work.

    Overall really good work, i wish you had done some studies outside of the demos though,

    try adding line weight to you arrows (thin in the background and thicker as it comes closer to the viewer)

    maybe a bit more focus on the shadows in textures

    very good ellipses and line economy

    good flow on the leaves but i think you should try to apply a bit more of the fundamentals of the arrows exercise to them

    overall i would say to just really focus on how much ink you use on lines and kinda stray away from making them all the same size really good work though

    Next Steps:

    Lesson 4

    i screwed up on my arrows by not keeping the distance between consistent but i don't know if i should do it again. also sorry it took me so long to reply https://imgur.com/a/WCrpAyl

    Very solid work all around,

    A few things though

    1. line weight on arrows should be localized to the bends

    2. I think you should focus more on drop shadows for your dissections

    3. also try to do 2 different textures for the inside and outside of the dissections

    4. for the form intersections shade the face of the shape that faces the viewer i think that would make it look a lot more solid

    5. more shadows for the organic intersections

    Over all though really good work.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
