Hi! Good job on your Lesson 3 homework.
I will take care of reviewing it and giving you directions.
Arrows: These look pretty good. The depth, fold and line weight application look correct.
No major errors here.
Branches: Your branches look generally solid. The stroke doesn't look broken which helps everything look smooth.
The ellipses are well aligned to their axis. Plus I notice that they don't change degree with respect to their position.
In other words, your ellipses should look fatter or thinner according to their orientation to the viewer.
In the first step of the exercise instructions you can read about this, the image there also shows it: https://drawabox.com/lesson/3/2/exercisebranches
Leaves: I like how the leaves look quite organic. The folds are fluid and the details adhere well to the overall construction.
The way you used shadows to distinguish the planes also looks adequate.
Plant drawings: It's nice that all the drawings look pretty clean. All the objects seem to follow their flow lines and the overall construction is good.
I see that in some cases you drew your ellipses with a single stroke.
Throughout Drawabox, you are asked to draw over your ellipses once or twice to build up accuracy.
On the Aloe Vera plant, it would have been best not to trim the leaves where they touch the pot.
When working with constructive drawing, you want everything to look very structured and solid. It would have been more appropriate to draw them complete as in the other plants, even if they are beyond the pot.
Conclusion: Overall, it looks like you followed the method as well as possible.
I will leave no homework and mark your lesson as complete!

Proko's Drawing Basics
Drawabox isn't the be-all, end-all of drawing fundamental education. Our approach prioritizes certain concepts over others, and while we believe it do so for good reasons, ultimately it doesn't appeal to everyone. If Drawabox simply doesn't work for you, give Proko's Drawing Basics course a try - at the very least, you'll probably find it to be a hell of a lot more fun.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
