Hello,

Good job on completing all of lesson 3's homework. You did good overall, but there are some things that I would still like to point out.

In your arrows, I would say to have a little more visual hierarchy using slightly more thickened/bold lines. It helps to add a little more visual clarity about which lines are in front of others and vice versa.

This next point might be a byproduct of not adding too much line weight, but when you do your hatching, make sure it wraps around one whole side of your form as it turns in space. Take the arrow on the bottom right; the upper two areas that you hatched are good, as they both appear to stick to the one side of the arrow, that being the arrow's inward side. However, it is difficult to tell if the lower one is supposed to be on the inner or outer side of the arrow. To me, it looks like it is more-so on the outer side, but the illusion gets broken as you did not fill in the whole outer corner with your hatching; you stopped when your marks met the line that would only be seen by using x-ray vision.

*Other than that, I would say to play around with more exaggerated foreshortening. This isn't a requirement in any right, but it's something that may come in handy, so it may be something good to experiment with any time you do this exercise in the future.

Your leaves have good flow to them. Some leaf veins can look a little flat, but to me, you have a good understanding on how they flow on top of the leaf's form, so I think that this will go away with practice. I go into a little more detail about this in this comment's last paragraph.

Your forms are very solid. However, their perspectives can occasionally be confusing. Take the one on the bottom right: the ellipses on the top and bottom seem to have extremely similar degrees, which makes be believe that the tube turns away from the viewer, only to turn back to them (or vice versa), which is a narrative that is not supported by the ellipses in the middle. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, go look over some of the ellipse-related topics in lesson 1, as they are described in heavy detail there.

Overall, I'd say that your construction is good. I'd say to be a little more weary with how leaves turn in space (take the leftmost drawing on page #3- some of them can look a little flat. I don't know what your reference material looks like, so I may be heavily mistaken, but I feel like it's something worth being pointed out).

Moving forward, be sure to heavily consider how flat forms (like leaves) flow through space when their silhouette doesn't get affected as much. Take the rightmost plant on page 6; the flow and construction of the leaves are well done, but some of the leaf veins do not run down the leaf when it divots in the middle. Again, I'm assuming that that's what you were trying to do, as I do not have access to your original reference image. Try to imagine how the leaf's flat form would bend and bump in space, even if it's ever so slightly that it doesn't affect it's silhouette. This may help with the aforementioned leaf veins, making them run across the surface of the leaf while respecting it's form.
