Congrats on completing lesson 3! It's looking good--I honestly don't know that I can offer anything helpful here!
Arrows: Good variety, taper, and added line weight/hatching. Your lines look confident.
Leaves: Again, a good variety, and some twist added in. The texture looks like cast shadows.
Branches: There's a bit of pinching and fraying in a few of the stems, but overall it looks like you have this down as well.
Plants: Again, these are solid and volumetric. The texturing is top notch. A minor note--when you do lesson 4, you may be advised to do one subject per page--it allows you to use your arm more as you draw. Overall though, really nice. I like how you constructed the chunky bonsai trunk and plant next to it, and the fruit shadows follow the forms well!
Next Steps:
On to lesson 4! The only real advice I can give is to do fewer subjects per page.

Thank you so much for the critique!
I'm really happy that you liked my drawings and i'll make sure to do one subject per page on my next lesson!

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
