Lesson 3: Applying Construction to Plants

This was pretty challenging. I could feel the stiffness in my drawings, particularly among the first demo. I have not cured my hand of it yet, though I'm trying. I also noticed how proportions of petals and stems make the drawings look off. I know, of course, that the goal is not to make pretty drawings here, but I'm somewhat discouraged regardless. I see many of the submissions here and on reddit that are constructional but still achieve a level of beauty that mine lack. The drawings that are larger, such as the corpse plant and the morning glory, are more pleasing to me, though that feeling may be irrelevant.
I added very few cast shadows and details, attempting to add them only to sell the shape. This was not always as successful as I desired.
