Jumping right in with your arrows, these are drawn fairly confidently, for the most part - there's a touch of hesitation, like the wavering we see here, but it's quite minimal. Overall you're doing a good job of pushing the sense of how each arrow flows through all three dimensions of space, and this carries over fairly decently into your leaves - although I think drawing these bigger would have helped push that further to capture how each leaf moves through the space it occupies a little better.

Drawing bigger would also have helped you with your edge detail, though from what I can see you're mostly handling this well, aside from some cases where you end up zigzagging your edge detail across the previously existing edge, as we can see here. I explain why this is something to avoid in these notes.

Continuing onto your branches, it looks like you're stopping your edges too early. Remember that as explained here, each segment should extend fully halfway to the next ellipse. With the next one starting at the previous ellipse, this provides us with a healthy overlap, which in turn helps us to achieve a smoother, more seamless transition from one to the next. I am however pleased to see that you're shifting the degree of your ellipses correctly, although the ellipses themselves aren't the best. Be sure to execute them from your shoulder, engaging your whole arm, and use the ghosting method for each and every one.

Moving onto your plant constructions, by and large you've handled this pretty well, although there are a handful of things I'd like to call out:

• Looking at your potato plant drawing, it doesn't really give me the impression that you followed the demo as closely as you could have. It's not that it's bad (although while the linework is definitely more confident and smooth than the leaves exercise, you do have more gaps at the tips of the leaves which suggests you may be rushing somewhat). As far as the demo goes though, there are definitely a lot of elements missing. Be sure to follow the demonstrations step by step, so you can get the most out of them.

• When constructing your flower pots (specifically the cylindrical ones), be sure to construct them around a central minor axis line to help with the alignment of the various ellipses. Also, be sure to include as many ellipses as are required to build out the structure in its entirety - for example, another ellipse inset within the opening to establish the thickness of the rim, and another to establish the level of the soil so the plant itself has something to intersect with.

• Keep in mind that the filled areas of solid black should be reserved for cast shadows only. Generally you do hold to this but in this flower pot where you filled in the opposite side is more akin to form shading, which as explained here should not be included in the drawings for this course.

Anyway, all in all there are definitely things you can improve on, but you're headed in the right direction. I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
