Congrats on finishing lesson 3--this looks fantastic!
Arrows: You clearly understand the idea here, and have the smooth swooping lines and hatching in. On just a few (like the upper left and lower right), the ribbon looks a bit wonky on the close side, but hey, this is fineliner work.
Leaves: Nice variety, and you got some good folds and bends. You continued to add variety in the 3D shapes, with some rippled edges in the plant drawings themselves.
Branches: Again, these look good, and the lines are smooth. I can see it's a bit difficult to hit everything with perfect accuracy, but that will keep getting better with time.
Plant drawings: These are lovely, and such good variety! You definitely lend a sense of 3D space as you follow the forms, and the texturing is really beautiful. There is so much volume to be felt here. One minor nitpick is that on a few occasions, the ellipses are tilted a bit from where the minor axis should be (such as the stem of the mushroom on the very left), but you generally nail it, so I wouldn't worry too much. Overall awesome work!
Next Steps:
Definitely move on to the next lesson!
Marshall Vandruff is a ubiquitous name in art instruction - not just through his work on the Draftsmen podcast and his other collaborations with Proko, but in his own right. He's been teaching anatomy, gesture, and perspective for decades, and a number of my own friends have taken his classes at the Laguna College of Art and Design (back around 2010), and had only good things to say about him. Not just as an instructor, but as a wonderful person as well.
Many of you will be familiar with his extremely cheap 1994 Perspective Drawing lectures, but here he kicks it up to a whole new level.
