Starting with your arrows, these are flowing quite nicely through all three dimensions of space. Just a couple small things to keep an eye on:

• Your hatching lines are pretty scribbly and haphazard, I don't really see any reason for you not to take the time to draw them more cleanly

• No reason not to close off the far end

• Don't be afraid to let the zigzagging sections overlap one another especially as they go farther back in space, where the spacing between them will have shrunk to become negligible.

Moving onto your leaves, you've done a great job of applying the core structure and constructional principles of the technique described in the instructions. I'm very pleased to see how you add further edge detail in a manner that builds directly on top of the previous phase of construction, as this helps maintain a sense of solidity and believability to what you're building out. You're doing a pretty decent job of capturing the same fluidity and flow as you did in your arrows, though one thing that can help further this is to draw a little arrowhead at the end of that flow line when completing the first step of the leaf construction process. This arrow head can be a subtle reminder to draw that flow line with energy and confidence, and to really push the idea of how these leaves move through the space they occupy.

Your branches are coming along decently, though you definitely are ending up with a lot of visible tails where the segments don't quite flow seamlessly into one another. Two things will help with this:

• First off, don't forget to extend those linese fully halfway towards the next ellipse, you often let them fall short

• Use the remaining segment of the previous stroke as a 'runway' for the next one, overlapping it directly before shooting off towards your next target instead of drawing your next stroke where the previous one ought to have been.

By and large you've done a pretty solid job with your plant constructions. Again, you're adhering closely to the structured, step-by-step approach demonstrated in the instructions, and you're not prone to jumping ahead or attempting to capture levels of complexity that are not quite supported by the structure already present.

There are times where things get a little bit stiff, or where the shapes you draw on the page are a bit too focused on how those lines run across the flat, two dimensional sheet of paper (rather than remembering how we're having them flow as edges through 3D space). A few places this was more apparent was this one as well as the larger leaf to the far right of this page. In both cases, I feel not enough attention was paid to the flow lines, and you got too caught up in how the lines you were drawing sat on the page itself. Always remember that even when adding details along the edge of a leaf, those little spikes exist in 3D space - and so as they come closer to the viewer, they'll get slightly larger.

I was very pleased with how you applied both leaf and geometric construction in this drawing - the use of a minor axis for your cylindrical flower pot, and the use of concentric ellipses to capture the thickness of the "lip" of the pot both worked out very well.

All in all, your work is coming along quite well. I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete, so keep it up through the next lesson.
