Lesson 3: Applying Construction to Plants

This lesson was really challenging for me, so any feedback is much appreciated!
Overall I see that you have follow the right way and that was a step to better. But some of your pages seem moving too quickly without consider why put this line and why have to draw like this so my recommends are read the instruction several times before going to the lesson, then you should do a 10-15 minute warm-up exercise at lesson 1-2 before every drawing and try to think more about the object construction and it texture details (You should spend more time to Observe and Analyze the subject rather than try to finish it without consideration). That's it so hope you take my advice advance and drawing everyday to get yourself to a higher place and try to have fun while drawing.
All the best from me, Luke
Next Steps:
I think you can move to another sections but I refer you to look back at previous lessons, read carefully and choose exercise as warm-up exercise before every drawing
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
