I see it now. For the 3rd plant, the sides of a pedal actually curl upward instead of downward like I mentioned. In this case you can use cast shadow to show this nature (see this image).

For the sunflower, you should draw a heart shape from the get go. However, if a simple curve is unable to capture the shape of the leaf, you can add additional flow lines like he demonstrates here and here. This image is how I would tackle the leaf using the method introduced previously.

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much!

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
