Hello kabachuha, its me again! I'll take a look at your revisions.

Branches

As far as the ellipses are concerned I see some improvement, and i can see even more of it on your plant constructions later on; of course, some of them are still wonky , but they're not meant to be perfect , that's to be expected at this stage of the course and will improve with time.

The lines, in the branch exersice itself are not very confident : sometimes they're just a little wobbly , other times they end up very much so; this is not so much an issue of skill, its more likely due to focusing too much on those lines being accurate and hitting their mark, rather then being confident even if they overshoot.

This isn't an issue on most of your plant constructions later on, so it shows you had a great deal of improvement in that regard, but do keep it in mind.

Leaves

You've handled the leaves pretty well, although there's a couple of things i'd like to call out on a few of these.

• Cretan maple leaf: the only issue i could see here is in your edge detail ; the way you've drawn it makes the leaf appear as if there's "three separate leaves" instead of one; try to observe your reference after every stroke , as its easy to miss these kinds of details,but aside from that this looks pretty good i'd say.

• Fatsia: You've handled this one very well, there's only one thing i'd like to say , and that's try to work additively, as cutting into your forms can flatten your drawings (this is not a much of an issue for lesson 3, but it's VERY IMPORTANT for lessons 4 and 5).

• Nettles: I admit that i emphasized the use of shadow shapes in texturing in my critique, however these were not used for texturing , they were used for defining the relationship between the leaves (which i can see as clearly being in the reference),which was a point in my older critique that you've adressed; The problem here is that the leaf that is casting said shadow isn't actually present in the drawing so it makes said relationship unclear, that being said you've handled the leaf itself fairly well along with its edge detail.

• Lime: the only real issue here is that you skipped a constructional stage, more specifically , you drew the "spike" at the end of the leaf and the main leaf shape at the same time; Be sure to just draw a simple shape for the leaf first , then add smaller parts of the drawing ,like said spike, and finally move onto edge detail.

Plant constructions

Moving onto the plants , this is where the greatest deal of improvements seem to have been made.

Your lines and ellipses , as said , have shown the biggest improvement over time, as long as you keep this up and warm up you'll go a long way.

Your leaves on the dragonfruit and lily have a very good sense of flow, you're not afraid of letting the lines overlap with each other and with other leaves , very good job.

You've spent a great deal of time observing and drawing the Engleria,along with the same improvements as the previous plant, which is great to see.

As far as the Cloudberry goes , be careful about little instances where you slip and forget to draw the center line of leaves, like the 2 side leaves on the bottoms; while they're part of the same leaf, those lines are a fundamental part of construction , so try not to forget them.

On the same note , always observe your reference; this is as, if not more important then the ability to draw itself , i notice your edge detail frequently ends up looking very uniform , and completely different from your reference.

This mostly comes from our tendencies to auto-pilot , which emerges because we are aware that we'll need to draw a LOT of edge detail, which overwhelms us and causes us to make marks that look very similar to each other; every time you notice this happen, try to take back control, and while in most cases you'll continue to auto-pilot(which is normal), eventually this will increase your ability to stop it and be more careful with observation.

Obviously, there's things you could improve on, but overall i see you've improved over the course of your revisions, so as long as you keep these points in mind and keep practicing , you're good to go.

If you have any questions , feel free to ask them, whether here or on the discord channels dedicated to them.

I'll mark the lesson as complete; keep it up , and good luck on your journey!
