Starting with your arrows, you're doing a great job. You've drawn them with a lot of confidence behind the linework, which really helps to push the sense of fluidity with which they move through space. This carries over fairly well into your leaves, where you're doing a good job of not only capturing how those leaves sit statically in 3D space, but also how they move through the space they occupy. I'm also pleased to see that you're making excellent use of the techniques for both adding edge detail, and for approaching more complex leaf structures, which shows that you're not only mindlessly reproducing the steps, but also understanding construction on a conceptual level.

Your branches are similarly well done, though be sure to extend those edge segments fully halfway to the next ellipse as shown here, as this helps a lot in achieving even smoother, more seamless transitions from segment to segment.

Moving onto your plant constructions, honestly the trend continues. You're showing an overwhelming respect for the core principles of construction - building everything up in stages, and adhering to the specific assertions every phase of construction makes (rather than attempting to contradict them with later steps). You're showing that you really do grasp how construction is all about carrying forward the solidity we achieve more easily in the simpler stages, all the way through as we add more and more complexity, and you do so quite successfully as well. On top of that, you're showing patience and care, every step of the way.

Unfortunately, this only leaves me with two... no, three things to call out or recommend:

  • First off, don't be afraid to draw big and really make full use of the space available to you on the page. I noticed in a lot of these, you drew single plants - that in and of itself is totally fine, as long as the space on the page is being used well. Drawing smaller, especially when we preallocate spaces on the page ahead of time for each drawing, can limit our brain's capacity for spatial reasoning, while also making it harder to engage our whole arm while drawing, in turn resulting in stiffer, clumsier linework. This can be avoided by ensuring that we focus only on giving our first drawing on a page as much room as it requires, not worrying about "saving" room for others. This is a common mistake, but in your case it's kind of the opposite - you aren't really running into too much stiffness from drawing smaller, so you are giving your drawings enough room. That does however mean that your pages have loads of extra space for additional drawings, and you should (space permitting) oblige it by, again, making full use of the space on the page. It comes down to asking yourself what exactly you're looking to achieve out of the work that's being done. In all honesty, I am chastizing you a little for not having drawn more on each page given that you had the opportunity to do so, but while this would normally be a sign of rushing and a lack of patience, the rest of your work simply doesn't align with that. You have taken your time, you have demonstrated care and discipline. So I'll chalk it up to a mild error in judgment.

  • Try to avoid drawing later constructional steps with a darker or thicker line than earlier ones. For example, if you look at this page, you'll notice that the added edge detail is noticeably darker. This can encourage you to attempt to redraw more of the previous step of construction than is strictly necessary, which should be avoided - and in fact, you do end up doing it on that left-most leaf, and to a point, the bottom-right. This in turn can result in weaker relationships between phases of construction.

  • Lastly, a very minor point - just be sure to construct any cylindrical structures, like your flower pots, around a central minor axis line to help you when aligning your ellipses to one another. I am however very pleased to see that you weren't shy about including lots of ellipses to help build out all of the elements of this flower pot - and despite the lack of minor axis line, the alignment was largely fine. Still, no reason to work without it in this course.

I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete. Keep up the great work!
