Alrighty - starting with your arrows, I think these flow really nicely and confidently through 3D space. Just one thing to remain aware of - as your arrows move away from us, perspective will apply to both the positive space (the thickness of the ribbons getting narrower) as well as the negative space (the spacing between the zigzagging sections). You've got those negative space gaps increasing in size in several cases, or remaining more consistent, so keep an eye on that. It'll help you continue to convey the depth of your scene.

Moving onto your leaves, you continue to carry the confident fluidity across into here. I'm also pleased to see that as you build up further edge detail, you do so by adhering to the underlying structure from the previous phase of construction. Your little spikes and waves come off the previous, simpler edge, and then return to it, rather than treating it more loosely like some manner of suggestion or guideline.

Your branches are where we run into our first issues:

• You're not drawing through your ellipses (you should be doing this for each and every ellipse you draw throughout all of these lessons. You're actually doing a decent job of drawing evenly shaped ellipses, but regardless, don't skip through rules you feel may not apply to you.

• When it comes to the aspect of the lesson focused on getting our line segments to flow seamlessly one into the next to give the impression of a single continuous, controlled stroke across the entire length of the branch, you're not applying this technique correctly. In the instructions I mention that you should be drawing a segment from one ellipse, past the second and halfway towards the third - then drawing the second segment from the second ellipse, past the third, and halfway to the fourth. This would result in a considerable overlap between those two segments, which allows us to have them flow more seamlessly from one to the next. Instead you seem to end up with little to no overlap - where one segment stops is where you seem to start the next. Definitely go back and review the instructions for this.

Aside from those points, your work is largely very well done. You're applying the same principles of construction as introduced with the leaves quite effectively, building everything up phase by phase, and not being afraid to draw each and every form in its entirety - even when they get particularly densely packed, like in your echinacea.

I did notice a few cases where you jumped into more complex leaf edges too early (like this hibiscus' leaves, where you did not first construct a simplification of the leaf shape to use as scaffolding to support the more complex edges), but you do adhere to those principles in most cases.

When drawing textural forms, like along the cap of your fly agaric mushroom, remember the principles from Lesson 2. That is, employing implicit techniques, capturing the presence of these little forms by drawing the shadows they cast, not outlining them.

Lastly, the individual lotus flowers here were quite well drawn and constructed, though your attempt to draw more of a comprehensive scene went a little awry - the degree of your lilypads were far too wide, resulting in an impression that they were more facing towards the viewer, rather than oriented to face more towards the sky.

So! All in all, your work is looking pretty good - though I do want to give you another shot at the branches exercise, so I'll be asking for an additional page of those before I mark this lesson as complete.
