Starting with your arrows, very nice work! You've drawn these with a great deal of confidence, which helps to sell the fluidity with which they move through the world. This carries over quite well into your leaves, where you've not only captured how they sit in 3D space as a static element, but also how they move through the space they occupy. Generally speaking you've done a pretty good job in building up edge detail with separate strokes, both rising off and returning to the previous step's edge in a seamless fashion. That said, in this one you had a greater tendency to zigzag your edge detail back and forth across the previous edge, which as explained here is something to avoid. It results in a much weaker relationship with the previous phase of construction, so less of that illusion of solidity is transferred from one step to the next.

Continuing onto your branches, you are by and large doing this well, but I have just a couple of notes:

  • Be sure to extend each segment fully halfway to the next ellipse. You do this a fair bit of the time, but there are a lot of cases where it's inconsistent.

  • Draw through each ellipse two full times before you lift your pen, as discussed in Lesson 1. This goes for all the ellipses we freehand in this course. I think you intend to, but you may not realize that you're only going around about one and a half times at most.

As to your plant constructions, your work here is fairly solid, but scrolling through the extensive set, I did find a handful of small points I wanted to call out:

  • For the flower pot in this page, you were right to construct the cylindrical form around a central minor axis line. Note though that the ellipse on the farther end should be of a wider degree than the end closer to the viewer. If you're unsure why that is, review the Lesson 1 ellipses video.

  • I noticed that on many of this one's petals you skipped the flow line step. Be sure to apply each step of the technique consistently - the drawing as a whole is an exercise, and the purpose of having you apply that methodology to each leaf and petal comes from having you break the process down into small steps, solving one problem at a time, in order to get into that habit. So while one could argue that your ellipse-based approach may have been suitable here, it does still undermine the purpose behind the exercise.

  • I noticed that in some of the leaves on this page, you jumped into shapes that were far too complex. Remember that constructional drawing as an exercise focuses heavily on building things up step by step, from simple to complex. Don't skip steps.

  • On this page, you ended up cutting off some of the back petals. It's best to draw each form in its entirety, so we can fully understand how they sit in space, and in relation to the forms around them. After all, an object does not cease to exist where it is blocked from our view. We need to think beyond a 2D interpretation of the drawing, and consider that we're looking out onto a scene in which these things actually, physically, exist, regardless of our ability to witness them.

And that about covers it! You've done quite well, just keep these few points in mind. I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
