Hello, congratulation on finishing lesson 2. I'll be only pointing out the thing that needs to be improved and Here are my observations:
- Organic Arrow
Next time try a simple pattern for the arrow like this for example, so you can focus on nailing the perspective. Keep in mind about these things when you draw the arrow. You seem to have difficulties connecting the curve, my suggestion is to try to draw the first curve, then draw the connecting line, keep in mind the length of the connecting line because it'll affect the perspective and lastly draw the second curve last, with this you will have more control over your perspective.
- Organic Forms with Contour Lines
Draw through your ellipse 2 or 3 times only (2 times preferably). For the organic form with a contour curve, I feel like the curve is a little bit stiff and doesn't show much dimension, so my advice is that when you ghost the curve, try to ghost the whole ellipse, but when you put the mark, only draw the part that wraps around the form, so you will get a better sense of how the ellipse turns in space and it will be easier to get that hook.
- Texture Analysis
Try use lost and found edges around the middle area like this, so the texture will have better gradation.
- Organic Intersections
draw the cast shadow to follow the form of the object they're being cast on.

Lesson 3: Applying Construction to Plants
The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
