Starting with your arrows, they're definitely very fluid and confidently drawn, which contributes to a strong sense of movement. What is lacking however, is a degree of planning - right now you're not compressing the gaps between the zigzagging sections to show a greater sense of depth in the scene, and that appears to be because you're allowing the arrows to just move along the page as they wish. When it comes to capturing a sense of a third dimension - something that doesn't already exist - we have to do so through intent, and plan/prepare towards the execution of that intent. That is ultimately what the first two stages of the ghosting method are for.

Continuing onto your leaves, you are achieving a bit more structured depth and are still doing a great job of capturing how the leaves both sit in space, and how they move through the space they occupy. That said, you appear not to have completed this exercise, opting instead to stop at step 2 (as per the instructions in the lesson). Step 3 - that is, building up more complex edge detail upon the existing structure is an important part of this exercise, and one you appear to have skipped.

Continuing onto the branches, you're moving in the right direction, but again appear not to have followed the instructions to the letter. As explained here, you're meant to extend each segment from one ellipse, past the second, and halfway to the third, then starting the next one at the second ellipse and continuing the pattern. This allows for a healthy overlap between the segments, creating a more seamless and smooth transition from one to the next. This is something your branches struggle to achieve, most notably when turning or bending.

Continuing onto your plant constructions, here you appear to be adhering to the principles of construction fairly well, building up from relatively simple components to create solid structures where the relationships between the forms are established. The fact that you opted to go through the steps in the construction of each individual petal in the plant on the right side of this page definitely stands out. All in all, it shows that you are certainly grasping the overall principles of the lesson, and that you're applying them fairly well.

The cactus on this page is the only one that didn't turn out particularly well, for a few reasons:

• The intersection between the main trunk of the cactus and the flower pot is not actually drawn to sit on the surface of both forms (it exists outside of the cactus, rather than on its surface), so it fails to create a believable relationship there.

• Similarly, there's no intersection defined between the "arms" of the cactus and the trunk, so they all read as flat shapes rather than three dimensional forms.

• In general, I highly recommend that when constructing structures like this, you focus on the use of simple sausages to create the basic structure. From there you can wrap additional forms around the existing structure to add any more nuance to it - though all of this is somewhat outside of the scope of this lesson, and pertains more closely to lesson 4. You can, however, see an explanation of how to build upon those structures in this diagram.

All in all, I do want to see you push the leaves exercise further, and to take another swing at the branches, but as far as your plant constructions go, they're fine (aside from the cactus). So, I'll get revisions on those two exercises, then leave you to continue on. You'll find the revisions assigned below.
