Starting with your arrows, these are looking good. The linework is smooth and confident, and they move fluidly through space.

Continuing onto your leaves, to start, while you are drawing these with a fair bit of confidence and fluidity as well, I think the fact that you ended up drawing them pretty small on the page did end up hindering you somewhat. When we draw smaller, we tend to make it more difficult for our brains to solve spatial problems (especially as beginners), and it also makes it more difficult to engage our whole arm while drawing, making our linework somewhat clumsier. You've definitely got that sort of flow, but it's not nearly as confident as your larger arrows were.

It also appears that you didn't really explore any more complex edge detail (step 3 in these instructions). That means you missed out on practicing how you might build upon the structure you'd placed down. I'm definitely happy to see how enthusiastic you were to fill that page up, but your first priority is always going to be to explore each exercise fully, and to follow the instructions as they're written. Textural detail is optional, but it's beneficial to explore how you might work in the more complex edge variation.

Continuing onto your branches, again - drawing these bigger will definitely help. There are a few other things that jumped out at me:

• It looks like you're drawing all of your ellipses at roughly the same degree. Don't forget that the degree will change depending on the position and orientation of a given circular cross-section in space, as explained here in the newer ellipses video from lesson 1 (although this is brought up in Lesson 2 as well).

• Also, make sure that you're extending all of your segments fully halfway to the next ellipse, as shown here. It looks like you do this sometime, but more often you only extend them slightly past the previous ellipse, resulting in much less of an overlap. That overlap's important because it helps us transition more smoothly and seamlessly from one ellipse to the next.

Overall, I really think you need to be slowing down a little, drawing less and thinking more about each and every mark you put down on the page. Like I said before, your enthusiasm and eagerness to learn is definitely there, and while drawing a lot is certainly important, it's really easy to let that enthusiasm get ahead of us. Make sure you're following the instructions to the letter, and review them frequently if you're prone to forgetting things.

Moving onto the plant constructions, the whole quantity-over-quality thing does still stand, but another major point for you to keep in mind is that it's important that you draw through your forms. This basically means, instead of cutting your petals and leaves off where they're overlapped by another, you draw each and every leaf/petal in its entirety. That allows us to understand how each form exists in 3D space, and how they relate to one another within that space. So for example, note how in the daisy demo, I drew each petal completely, even though it got a little visually cluttered.

Each of these drawings are, at their core, exercises in understanding how forms sit in space, and how they relate to one another - not just about drawing pretty drawings. So we follow specific rules/approaches in order to maximize the effectiveness of those exercises. We could just say "draw a bunch of pages of plants and flowers" but that wouldn't necessarily get us any further along in the specific areas we're training here.

Now, I think the best thing to do here is to have you go through the lesson again. It's not that you've done everything wrong, but the things you're doing right are just kind of rushed and sloppy, and therefore aren't done to the best of your current ability. In your enthusiasm, you prioritized quantity, and so what we're seeing here doesn't actually show what you can do when you take your time on each and every mark, applying the ghosting method and really pushing yourself to your limit.

So, do the lesson again, and when you're done, post it as a new submission. This will cost you an additional 2 credits, but I'll give you a full critique from head to toe as well. Remember - it's not about drawing as much as you can. It's totally fine to draw just one plant per page, if it comes to it, as long as you're giving each plant as much of your time as it needs, and as much space as it requires.

Edit: I forgot to mention - definitely make sure you draw along with the demonstrations. Following along with the steps will help you better understand the mindset behind how we approach these exercises.
