Hello there Kap, congrats on making it through! I'll be looking over your submission.

Starting with your arrows, you did a pretty good job with drawing with confidence and accuracy, with your regular lines and with your line weight. You also did a good job with making your arrows flow through the scene fluidly but don't forget to compress the further end of your arrows to create a better illusion of depth.

Onto your leaves, like your arrows, you managed to draw in a way that your leaves sit and flow through space really fluidly. You experimented with more complex structures as well. You generally did a good job with respecting the initial construction when adding edge detail but on a couple of leaves, instead of adding forms to/carving into the leaf with individual strokes (like shown here) you tried adding the detail to the entire edge in a single stroke. This will come up in the future as well so I recommend revisiting this part of lesson 1.

Your branches look pretty solid as well. Every line seems to tapper almost perfectly to the next and the transition between each segment is pretty smooth. However on some of your branches, instead of extending your lines to the half point of the next segment, you stopped right past the ellipses. Also remember to vary the degrees of your ellipses to create a more solid illusion of depth (like here).

Onto your constructions, they seem pretty good! You're building in stages, using the methods introduced in this lesson and creating convincing constructions while drawing as big as you can. Here's some pointers to help you moving forward:

• First thing that I'd like to draw your attention to is your use of shading. Although you generally did a good job with using cast shadows to show how forms relate to each other, sometimes you instead used shading to make you constructions look better (the little dots on the branch of your rose construction, for example). I know it can be easy to forget the difference between those two but the main thing I'd like you to remember is that we're using shadows only to show the relation between forms, not to create a pretty picture. You can take a look at this part of lesson 2 for a better explanation.

• Also on the topic of cast shadows, you occasionally drew shapes instead of shadows (like on your mushroom construction ). Take a look at this demo to see the difference between those two.

• I'm sorry for repeating myself but try to always pay attention to the degrees of your ellipses. They occasionally break the illusion even though your actual constructions are very convincing.

• Because you skipped line weight/cast shadows on this construction, it looks really cluttered. I feel like you rushed that one since your use of line weight on other constructions is really good.

I don't think I have anything to add. Your constructions were pretty solid, keep it up! (I was especially impressed with your rose). Even though I would love to let you move on, I'm going to need you to upload one construction (because of the construction I mentioned right above). You can add detail if you want. You can use a simple reference as well, I only want you to take your time with it! Try to work on the stuff I pointed out here, good luck!
