Starting with your arrows, you've drawn them quite well. They've got a good sense of how they flow smoothly and fluidly through space. That carries over fairly well into your leaves too, so you've done a good job there of capturing not only how they sit in space, but also how they move through the space they occupy.

That said, you definitely didn't push too far into the leaves themselves. You focused only on the first part of the exercise, and didn't really explore adding any more complex edge detail, or in constructing more complex leaf structures. When doing this exercise in the future, definitely play around more with that.

Moving onto your branches, it looks like you didn't really go through the instructions for this one as carefully as you could have. In most cases, it appears that you're drawing your first segment halfway to the next ellipse (which is correct), and then starting the next segment where the previous one ended. As explained in the instructions you are to draw your next segment from the previous ellipse, resulting in an overlap between the two segments that helps transition more smoothly and seamlessly from one to the next.

Moving onto your plant constructions, you have largely done a decent job. Your leaves continue to flow fairly well, and your rendition of the potato plant demo is actually extremely solid. There are however a few issues I want to address:

• Most notably in this hibiscus, you've been very heavy in your use of line weight to the point that it has been somewhat misused. Line weight should be, above all else, subtle and limited in its use, being applied only to clarify specific overlaps (rather than to replace or reinforce huge chunks of line), and only enough to be noticeable on a subconscious level rather than obvious to the eyes. Think of it more like a whisper, rather than a shout. It is however easy to confuse line weight with cast shadows, which we can make quite broad and bold. The difference is that cast shadows fall upon some other surface, while line weight clings to the silhouette of the form in question. Cast shadows cannot simply cling to the silhouette as line weight can, and if there is no surface for the shadow to fall upon, then there is no cast shadow to be seen. So looking at how some of your hibiscus petals have a very thick outline to them, this would be something to avoid.

• Another point about the hibsicus is that here I think you put more focus on the detail of the plant, which resulted in the underlying construction's linework coming out a bit stiffer than I know you to be capable of. Don't think ahead to how you're going to approach detail. While detail may be more interesting, you need to focus entirely on how you're establishing the forms of your construction when that is the task at hand.

• For a plant like this one, which has multiple repeated elements, it may be worthwhile just to focus on a specific section. This would allow you to give that one section more room on the page, which in turn will help you engage your brain's spatial reasoning skills, as well as your whole arm when drawing to achieve greater fluidity to your strokes. Working smaller tends to have a lot of its own issues, and where possible should be avoided.

• When constructing more complex leaf structures, you went in the right direction with this one, but as shown there, tightening up those gaps rather than artificially bridging across them will help them appear more solid. Also, don't forget to focus on how those leaves are meant to flow through space. When drawing your flow line, your only priority is establishing how the leaf is to move through space, and nothing else. Also, as mentioned above, ease up with that line weight. As you can see in this demo, you are not to redraw the outline of your leaf at every stage. You only draw the parts that have changed.

So! I've pointed out a number of things, but overall you're doing pretty well. Just make sure you review the instructions for the branches exercise especially. I'll leave you to do that on your own, so you can consider this lesson complete.
