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

Next Steps:

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:

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
