Jumping right in with your arrows, you've done an excellent job of drawing these such that they're executed with a great deal of confidence. That confidence helps to push the sense of fluidity with which they move through the world, which in turn carries over very nicely into your leaves, where you've established not only how they sit statically in 3D space, but also how they move through the space they occupy. I'm also pleased to see that you're building up your edge detail in pieces, only ever drawing as much as is necessary and not a lick more. Your tackling of that more complex leaf structure on the far right is well done too.

Continuing onto your branches, your work here is well done too, just be sure of two things:

• Extend each edge segment fully halfway to the next ellipse as shown here in the instructions. This helps us achieve a smoother, more seamless transition from segment to segment (something you're already doing prety well, but that can still be improved).

• Remember that the degree of your ellipses should be shifting, as per the points raised in the Lesson 1 ellipses video.

Moving onto your plant constructions, your work here really is no different! You've done a great job of focusing on constructing each element step by step, never delving into too much complexity where the existing structure cannot reasonably support it. I have just a few suggestions for you to keep in mind as you continue to move forwards:

• When following along with the demos, there are some cases where following them through in their entirety is quite important. For example, the potato plant demo, where we fill in that central section with solid black. On its own, it would be incorrect in the scope of this course. What we're really going for there, is the idea there's an area where the foliage is dense enough that it covers all of the space between those leaves with shadow. But, without having the other leaves also casting their own shadows, we lack the context for the student to understand what it is they're looking at, and it looks more like a bit of artistic license.

• This one's not a mistake in the context of this lesson, but it does come up more in the next one, so you can consider this something to look out for. Here you drew your fruits as simple ellipses (albeit admittedly loose ones, though that's not really a problem), then you modified their silhouettes - similarly to how we modify the silhouettes of our leaves. Problem is, modifying a form's silhouette will flatten out the intended structure. The silhouette is just a flat shape on the page, which represents an imaginary 3D form. In changing it, we can very often end up breaking the connection between the flat shape and the form it's meant to convey. This is generally fine with leaves, because they're already flat, and so there's no real harm done there. With forms that have actual volume to them however, it can be more damaging. I explain this further in these notes from the informal demos page.

• Lastly, when adding edge detail to the petals on this page you're more prone to zigzagging that edge detail back and forth across the existing edge, which as explained here can result in a looser relationship between the phases of construction, which in turn impedes the solidity of that simpler stage from carrying forward as we build up more complexity.

And that covers it! I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete. Keep up the good work.
