Hello NeedAccountability, thank you for getting back to me with your work.
First things first your leaf constructions are looking much more solid, but they still don't fold or bend. Don't forget to focus on drawing leaf structures that bend during your warm ups, as you have a tendency to "straighten" them out as if they were laying on top of a table and you were looking at them head on, this is also true for your plant constructions.
Your branches are also looking much better as you're following the instructions for the exercise much more closely, although I did notice that in here there's an extra line that shouldn't be there, keep in mind that we're drawing in ink for a reason, commit to your marks and try to work with your mistakes, rather than trying to keep going as if they weren't there.
I don't have many notes about your plant constructions, you're generally making use of the construction methods much more closely now and that allows you to create some really solid looking structures. Don't forget to keep in mind however that if you start a stage of construction you must take it to it's full extent, you haven't added texture fully to your structures, there are large areas of white in your work and leaf structures with no texture at all, this creates a weird contrast as it makes your work look unfinished. If you decide to add texture, commit fully to it, you'll learn more that way.
When constructing a structure inside a plant pot don't forget to establish a ground plane such as in here, this extra "red" line indicates where a ground plane should be added, which will indicate where the soil starts, otherwise your structures will look like they're floating.
In general I believe you have shown great improvement and understood the purpose of these exercises. I'm going to be marking this submission as complete, good luck in Lesson 4.
Next Steps:
Don't forget to add these exercises to your list of warm ups.
Move on to Lesson 4.
