Hello! Like I said on the discord I think you're ready for lesson 4! Just remember the thingy about cylinders and branches I told you.
So I'm adding another comment so you can get it marked as complete. Good luck!
Next Steps:
Lesson 4

Half of the plant drawings were supposed to be your own, not following the step-by-step tutorials. You only drew 2 out of 8 on your own.
Those 2 plants your drew on your own are also pretty low in complexity, especially the carton plant. Your homework is for your own benefit. How difficult you make it is largely up to you, but I'd encourage you to increase the difficulty to get more out of this. Let's be honest, drawing that carton plant didn't teach you much of anything and the summer crops aren't much better. Maybe get some inspiration by looking at what other people are doing for their lesson 3 homework.
It's up to you, but I expect at least 2 more custom plant drawings to consider this homework complete.
Next Steps:
Draw at least 2 more plants on your own. I'd encourage you to do 4 more though.

Sorry about that! I decided to do the 4 plant construction drawings on my own like you recommended here: https://imgur.com/a/NFanBWu

Sketching: The Basics
A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
