Starting with your arrows, you're doing a great job of drawing these with a great sense of confidence and fluidity. This carries over nicely into your leaf exercise, where you've captured not only how they sit in space, but also how they move through the space they occupy. Admittedly I would have liked to have seen more exploration of edge complexity, as well as more complex leaf structures (as shown here). I did see you explore a bit of edge detail on one of them, where you had some success. On one side you built up the waves with individual segments, each bump as a separate mark building off the previous phase of construction. That is the correct approach. What you did on the other side, zigzagging a single continuous stroke back and forth across the edge was, as explained here, not the best way to handle this. Either way, seeing more of this would have been good.

Continuing onto your branches, while this is moving in the right direction, you do need to extend your segments fully halfway to the next ellipse, rather than just pushing them a little past the previous one. This is meant to provide a more significant overlap between segments, allowing them to transition smoothly and seamlessly from one to the next as explained here.

Continuing through your plant constructions, I am by and large very pleased with your results. You've employed the techniques covered in the lesson quite effectively, showing a strong appreciation for the importance of building up from simple forms and structures, gradually introducing more complexity in stages and always doing so with appropriate support. There are just a couple minor things I want to draw your attention to:

• You are generally pretty good about this, but there are a couple places (like this flower) where you didn't draw through your petals (meaning, draw each of them in their entirety instead of letting them get cut off by others). This is important because it helps us understand how each element exists in 3D space, and how they exist in relation to one another.

• For the date palm, a few things. I've noted them here, but basically - for the fronds, don't forget to construct the whole thing as a big leaf (flow line and outer edges and all). Also, for the individual leaves of the fronds, don't draw these as lines. Everything, within reason, should be an enclosed shape at the very least. For the dates themselves, I've included a quick demo on how I'd approach them (break them down into their bunches and then draw the dates as textures, focusing on the outer silhouette of each bunch and the internal textural cast shadows). Lastly, don't forget about the texture of the bark.

Aside from that, your work is coming along well. I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
