Hello, I'll be critiquing your lesson 3 submission today.
organic arrows- I feel like these are a little messy, and many of them do not seem to be changing perspective. however, your lines are neat and solid
leaves- solid, with good constructional lines.
branches- some lines overshoot the ellipse mark, making it look janky; this is a common beginner error. otherwise, solid
construction- overall, you did a good job with your constructions. the constructional shapes are clear, and most of the textures are good. however, I felt that the texture on the 6 drawing (the cactus) looked a bit rushed and in parts didn't wrap around the shape. however, the main focus is construction, and you did well in that department.
an additional note- according to the instructions, less than half of the constructional drawings should be done from the demos, meaning at most 3 out of 5 drawings done with the demo. however, 4 out of 8 drawings are done with the demo for your lesson 3 submission. Remember to read the instructions more carefully in the future.
Overall, not bad, but I feel that your organic arrows are rushed and you need one more constructional drawing to finish the requirements of the homework (less than half the drawings from the demo.)
Next Steps:
1 page organic arrows. remember to add perspective. refer to the lesson 2 page if you're confused
1 additional constructional drawing of a plant of your choosing.
If you do these I think you're good.
Hi, thank you for the critique. I've completed both revisions: the organic arrows and constructional drawing. I focused more on the construction of the latter, rather than the details. Kindly let me know what you think.

Yes, the organic arrows look much better. Your construction n the second image is also very clear and strong.
Next Steps:
Move on to Lesson 4. Good Luck!
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
