Hello DrDarkly, thank you for getting back to me with your revisions.
First things first, make sure to pay close attention to the instructions for the homework and the feedback you recieve, another page of arrows wasn't a part of your revisions.
For your leaves they're looking much better, they look much more fluid and solid, but you're adding your edge detail with a thicker lineweight and sometimed tracing the lines you've done previously. Be sure to keep the line thickness for each phase of construction roughly consistent, so as not to encourage yourself to redraw more than you strictly need to. Tracing in general is something to avoid when possible, because it tends to make us focus more on how we're following a line on a flat page, rather than how that line represents an edge in 3D space.
Your branches in this page are looking good for the most part, but this page seems to suggest that you're rushing and this causes you to skip steps, because even though you are aware that each new segment should start at the previous ellipse point there are some cases such as in here where you don't start your new segment with the methodology shown, leaving gaps in between your lines and effectively removing the healthy overlaps we seek to achieve in this exercise. You also have many wobbly ellipses because you're not drawing them with confidence and because not always drawing through your ellipses twice.
You're approaching leaf texture in a very explicit manner, you can find here a demo on how leaf textures should be approached.
Moving onto your plant constructions they're looking better overall, but there's still a couple of problems present such as how you're still not drawing through your forms and you're again rushing your work by not making use of the branch construction correctly since you don't draw a minor axis for the branches in your constructions, but in your page of branches you clearly show that you understand this step should be taken.
I'm going to be asking you for a last page of revisions, please take your time and make sure to follow the steps for the exercises thoroughly.
Next Steps:
1 plant construction page.
