Hi Greenxer! I'll be reviewing your homework. Let's see:

Organic Arrows: Your line is mostly fluid and confident, which is great. I would like to see them compress more as they go away, almost none of them do. There are also a lot of them that didn't overlap at all. About the hatching, try to apply it only to the areas that need it, that's just at the bends.

Leaves: They're mostly fine, but they are rather stiff and don't bend a lot, considering what leaves usually do on that aspect. Remember that we add texture based on cast shadows, so if you're going to do texture, take your time and try to replicate what's actually there.

Also, you didn't fully plan those fan-like leaves. While I can understand the mindset behind it (like, we're not using the full leaf, why make it) try to follow the instructions to the letter while doing the course. There's a leaf that doesn't even reach it's planned edge.

Branches: They're good. I would've liked to see a bifurcation or two, but it's fine. Good job overlapping the lines, those tails should disappear with time and practice. The change of degree of the ellipses on the big branches is minimal, but on the middle one you got a nice range of them.

Plant Drawings:

• Buttercup: Looks fine but has some issues. The lineweight is excessive, remember that we should use it only on overlapping sections and with subtlety. Some of the petals even look a bit hairy; if you have to add lineweight, do it in the same way we've been doing it: ghosting and drawing from your shoulder.

• Mushrooms: On the big one, the stem doesn't connect with the cap, and it undermines its solidity. You could try something like this, or you could make the contour ellipse of the cap coincide with the end of the stem. The second mushroom I can't figure out without a reference, but a similar solution employing contour curves could help it.

• Sundew: Looks fine, but it could use some subtlety on its lineweight. The fact that the edges are so thick on the upper right one makes it look flatter, as the inner ellipses lose visual relevance.

• Succulent: It was rushed, your branches don't have any ellipses on them, the contour curves on the leaves are sloppy, and sometimes don't accelerate enough when reaching the edges, that makes them look flat. Same comment for the soil texture: if you're going to do texture, take your time with it, if you're not going to do texture, it's alright too.

• Rose: The construction is good. Be careful with the detail: rarely the cast shadows look like hatching, and of course they don't appear randomly, but on precise spots depending on the light.

• Bromelia's Lilac: Beautiful construction, the same comment about texture from the rose applies here.

• Leaves: They look fine, but the edge detail is cutting into the shape, instead of being built outside from it. We want to cut inside the shape on special cases, where the leaf/petal is turning into itself, like on your buttercup. The upper right leaf is inconsistent with the edges constructed for it. Remember that once we make a mark, we adjust to it, it doesn't matter if it doesn't look exactly like our subject.

• Palm Tree: I think we're not supposed to draw trees on this lesson (maybe I'm wrong, but I remember reading that somewhere). I know that a palm tree is technically a plant, but still, they behave on a different way than plants. Actually, here's an interesting Reddit thread about that. Check out the response from Uncomfortable down there.

For what I can see, your trunk is good, but the leaves aren't really flexible as they are supposed to be, and the texture on them is a whole deal in of itself.

• Snowdrop: Both those plants have good construction, although you did ignore the ellipse you had defined already for the one on the upper right.

From what I can see, I think you're doing good, but there are some things you could do even better before moving on. So, I'll ask you to draw:

• One page of Organic Arrows. Make them overlap and compress/decompress as they move in 3D space.

• One page of Leaves without edge detail. Make them twist, overlap; you can look at references to get yourself into the mindset, but try to draw them from your imagination.

• One big plant drawing, without detail. Take into account all the corrections we've made, and post the reference too.

That's it. If you have any questions, I'll be around to answer. Good luck!
