Jumping right in with your arrows, you're off to a great start. You've executed these with a great deal of confidence, which really helps to sell the fluidity with which they move through the world. This carries over quite well into your leaves, where you're not only capturing how they sit statically in 3D space, but also how they move through the space they occupy.

That said, as you add edge detail to the leaf structures, you're doing a good job of sticking close to the structures, but I'm noticing a number of places where you seem to be trying to draw multiple bumps in a single stroke - likely to get through it more quickly. Unfortunately this has some negative effects - mainly resulting in a weaker relationship between the phases of construction. Generally you should be avoiding anything that can cause you to zigzag your edge detail back and forth. Also, note that this actually contradicts this principle of markmaking from Lesson 1.

Continuing onto your branches, it appears that you may not have followed the instructions for this one correctly - looks like you're starting your next segment near where the last one edges, and not at the previous ellipse as prescribed here and in the accompanying diagram. What we really want to ensure is that we have healthy overlaps between the segments so we can transition more smoothly and seamlessly from one segment to the next.

Moving onto your plant constructions, I do have a handful of things to call to your attention:

• I noticed that on your daisy drawing, I can seee a number of places where you start to get kind of rough with your linework, in a couple ways. Most noticeable is the places where you went over your linework. Every stroke you put down should be using the ghosting method (executing a single stroke at a time, always planning/preparing first, never acting reflexively), and you should not then apply additional strokes to correct mistakes.

• The second issue there is the tendency to leave arbitrary gaps between the end of your flow lines and the end of the petal itself. Constructional drawing focuses very heavily on maintaining tight, specific relationships between the phases of construction. Each step is a decision being made, and so the flow line establishes both how the petal moves through space, and how long it's going to be. Once drawn, you should adhere to the decision and not contradict it - which means drawing the petal such that it ends at the tip of the flow line, even if that results in deviating from the reference image.

• I noticed a lot of places where you were a bit... aggressive when it comes to drawing through your ellipses. Remember what's written here from Lesson 1 - you should only be drawng through them twice, three times max. Otherwise you lose track of the ellipsee you were intending to draw in the first place.

• On this one your edge detail is deviating way too far from the previous simpler petal structures - this is pretty much the issue with the edge detail zigzagging taken much further.

Remember - what we're doing here is not putting down a rough sketch to use as a guide. We are effectively introducing a structure to the world, as though it were a simple leaf shape cut out of a piece of paper, and as we add edge detail to it or build up its structure, we are actively making physical changes to that existing form. If we want to add spikes to its edge, we're physically adding more pieces of paper to it. If we want to create a wobbly edge, we are physically drooping and lifting sections of its perimeter in 3D space. And if we want to cut into its silhouette, then the lines we're drawing represent the paths a pair of scissors would follow to cut it out, as shown here.

Lastly, when it comes to adding details, you may want to review these notes from Lesson 2. Right now you appear to be trying to transfer decorative information from your reference directly by observation, rather than considering the actual textural forms that are present on the object's surfaces.

While you're doing alright overall, the nature of some of the issues we've encountered here - mainly not following the branches instructions closely enough, and not taking appropriate care with your linework - does require some revisions to demonstrate your understanding before we move forwards. You'll find them assigned below.
