Giving useful, detailed feedback to students is quite difficult, and we're very appreciative of the students who give that time to critique others' homework submissions - however, there are plenty of people who simply don't have the time to provide a fully in-depth review of a student's work. Based on the fairly limited feedback you provided, focusing only on one section of the lesson, I assume that your intent here was to provide what help you could, given your time constraints. But that said, it would be best in this case for you to leave it to those who do have more time, as providing feedback makes the system believe that the student has already received feedback, thus dropping their position in the list and reducing their chances of receiving further feedback (in favour of giving visibility to others). So the first response a student gets is often, though not always, all the feedback they're going to get.

If you do have time to spare but don't know how to structure your feedback (critiquing can be quite challenging after all), I'd recommend checking out Elodin's unofficial critique guides, which can help you structure your feedback so you're going through all the major sections and identifying strengths/weaknesses for each. He has guides for:

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

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.
