Hi there, tonight I'll be critiquing your submission! Overall, your whole submission is solid and carefully executed and you should be happy with it! There is one mistake that will require the smallest of revisions, so let's dive straight into it.

Organic Arrows

Your edges overlap properly and you show perspective correctly by narrowing the distance between the curves as the arrow travels further from view. Good line quality, too. One obvious mistake is that the hatching is in the wrong plane - if you look carefully in the instructions, the hatches are supposed to be drawn vertically/perpendicularly to the surface plane of the arrow. You have drawn them in parallel. For this reason, I'll ask for a tiny revision with only three arrows, where you revisit the instructions for this exercise and hatch properly. Remember to condense the hatches closer to the actual turn. Don't forget to make use of added line weight on top of the overlaps to reinforce their depth.

Leaves

The centerline is not too stiff, I can see you did constructive steps on some leaves with "arms" going our from the center line as well as smaller shapes. There is only one leaf with a weird little bend - mistakes happen and you are doing absolutely right not trying to fix it afterwards with redrawn lines! You have followed the instructions and avoided the obvious mistakes.

There are many "timid" leaves of the same type and orientation in your submission. In future warm-ups with this exercise, try bending them a little more, explore the folding and challenge yourself to bend their directions in a believable way.

I can see you tried the optional texture and it looks good. Not overdone and properly as cast shadows of the leaf textures.

Branches

If you ask me, the most difficult thing with this excercise is not drawing the whole branch with one stroke, but not divide it in too many segments. You definitely have avoided the first issue! This has created the problem of too many smaller segments to be connected. I can see that you have been very careful, but there are some width irregularities and visible tails in compound strokes where the lines should connect. I have some tips for future warm-ups (I recommend you revisit this exercise as soon as you can) which can help you minimize this issue:

• Ghost each stroke before executing it

• Place the ellipses with enough space between them, then make sure that you extent one compound stroke at least half way towards the next ellipse. You need enough room to work with to aim the tails

In some branches, the degree of your ellipses can be a bit similar. In the next warm-up, try doing more dramatic degree changes along the branch. Drawing through the ellipse twice helps making the mark appear more smooth.

Plant drawings

Lastly, let's review your plant constructions. You effectively utilize the construction techniques from this lesson which I feel communicates a three-dimensional quality oin your work. You're not just capturing the appearance of these structures but also considering their functionality and spatial relationships. Your best one is the flytrap, and your weakest is the Asiatic lily. In the latter, you skipped the extension of the center line all the way across the petal, which flattens your image quite a lot. Here, you have lost some three-dimensional quality. Be very careful to remember why you are doing the centerline - even if the plant lacks it you have to try to imagine it on the paper. It will help you construct the rest of the elements in a believable way. The same issue, but not to the same extent, can also be seen in your Plumeria, Iris and Lotus.

In the Aloe Vera and Flytrap, which is a complicated plant, you have done solid constructions and that is why it looks more dimensional. You have a feel for a centerline, you add the smaller elements, such as thorns, outside the constructive shapes with additive drawing.

Also, like I wrote earlier for the branch exercise, I advise you to explore more dramatic degree changes in the ellipses along the branches. This also limits your plant constructions a bit right now. Good branches really add to achieving the next level in these.
