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:

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.
The Art of Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
