Hello Lupursian,

I hope you are well,

Starting with arrows

Those are made quite well. You are not afraid to overlap them. You also make them smaller as they go into the distance, which creates a feel of perspective. I like that some of them have that beveled feeling, but I think that is caused by not spending enough time ghosting, so keep in mind to give that step more time.

Moving to leaves

You made them fairly good, but they feel really stiff, that might be caused by not giving the flow line enough time. Remember to give the flow line a really good thought, as it is the most important thing when it comes to the leaves we are drawing in this exercise. Few of your leaves have a problem of zigzagging edges. Keep in mind that we give one stroke one trajectory, don't autopilot those. Be mindful of each stroke.

Next, branches

They are looking pretty good. But sometimes there are leftovers from your previous segments. Be sure to draw using the shoulder with a ghosting method. We want to execute our strokes confidently and make them go over the next ellipses. By following this process correctly we create a seamless illusion of a smooth line that curves. Additionally your line work could see some work. Good work on drawing through your ellipses 2-3 times here and in the rest of the lesson.

Lastly plants

In the beginning you are drawing 5, then 3 and lastly 1 per page. Make sure in the future you are still drawing only 1 plant per page. That's because drawing small makes things harder for us. We draw more clumsily and it limits our ability to think through spatial problems. It also makes it awkward for our arm, especially when we don't have as much experience with a shoulder. There is plenty of empty space on your pages so use it to full advantage. After finishing the 1st drawing, look at your page and think if there is enough space for the next one. But don't force things into a tiny corner.

Don't repeat your lines, even if you made a bad line, leave it and treat it as if it was the correct one. We don't want to correct our lines as it starts bad habits and teaches us that we don't have to commit to our lines. Leave your bad line there to be seen. Next time you try to make a line, don't repeat the same mistake you did the previous time.

You don't commit enough to lines as they wobble. Remember to be patient with ghosting and take as much time as needed for each line. Then when it feels right, confidently execute the line. Also keep in mind to use your shoulder with a locked wrist. That's your biggest weakness by far. Be more patient with every step of the line making process.

Lastly make sure when you draw ellipses you think about their the individual degrees convey the orientation of that circular cross-section in space. You could think of it in a way, that if our ellipses are farther from the viewer, its degree is going to be bigger/wider. Great way to see that in real life is looking at the pots in your house or anything cylindrical. See what happens when we stand/sit/look at it from the bottom and then doing it again from farther distance, observe the degree of our ellipses.

Conclusion

You didn make any major mistakes, just a few minor ones. But what you need to work on is your linework, as it highly degrades your work. This skill takes a while to build, but for now you need to be patient and ghost as much as you can.

Please submit an additional 1 page of leaves and 3 pages of plants, before I mark this as a complete.
