The branches are getting better, but make a point of extending those lines fully halfway to the next ellipse. You seem to fall short on occasion. For the leaves, instead of cutting back into the shape, build each additional little spike onto the edge, adding to the leaf's silhouette rather than taking away.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
