Organic Arrows
Starting by the organic arrows they are noot drawn with a good deal of confidence, which helps to capture the fluidity with which they move through space
your making some good attempts at the perspective of the ribbon but push more. The main issue here though is that you are not aware that the negative space between the zigzagging sections of the ribbon should decrease as it moves further away, as shown here ( https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/011d064f.jpg ), this is the only thing missing for your arrows to look tridimensional. this is the only thing missing for your arrows to look tridimensional.
Leaves :
-Moving on to the leaves you are doing a good job with the first two steps, that is drawing the flow line and the edges for the silhouette. and one important step and that is drawing the edge details,
Branches :
good forking by the way
-Moving on to the branches I think that you have work with the instructions as best as you could have.
First of all remember that you should extend each segment fully halfway to the next ellipse. try to use ghosting method with that and when feel confidance draw that stroke when its halfway to next ellipse i saw some tails and beware of changing degrees
plants : i see that u have mess in some plants like the mushroom and daisy but u should draw from the ref and interpreate the information from ref as best as u could many times when feel confidance do it the solidity of your drawing should come first the pither plant as well need more observation and to be drawn with confidance
hisbiscus and cactus is great
potato plant need to draw edge details as u do
the other too is great

Thanks so much for the advice.
I tried to re-do the the page of arrows applying your recommendations. Here is the link to the photo of it on my drive:

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
