Well I did many breaks during this lesson but finally got through it.

Hello.
Your arrows seem very well made and it's clear where one edge is in relation to another.
In the "drawings as exercises" portion of lesson three it says that less than half of your submissions should be from the demos but you've used more than half, as such it's difficult for me to properly critique you. If you have difficulty finding reference here are some links that people have posted in the discord.

alternatively you can just google image search or look at real plants.
But from the plants I don't think are from any demos it looks promising with clear shapes and lineweight to seperate them.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Next Steps:
I'm not an ofical critiquer so I won't demand anything from you (not that I could anyhow), but if you want I think it could be beneficial for you to draw some plant's that's not from the demos and if you do enough to get more than half you can re submit this homework. But if you don't want to that's totally fine.

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
