Sorry for the late response, but thank you for the feedback.
To clarify for the leaf construction, in general, if the leaf is... nonstandard to the construction, it would be better off to break it up into smaller constructions, correct? For example, the leaf in the far-left center, and the second from the top-left: https://media.mnn.com/assets/images/2017/09/Claudio%20Divizia%20Shutterstock.jpg.653x0_q80_crop-smart.jpg
Here's another attempt: https://preview.redd.it/y0xpzbdr11t11.jpg?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=184c15bdf655aa0fc1466b77420b2ffff6df6662 (Sorry if there's another example below in the thread. My job doesn't allow imgur...)

Here is my submission for lesson 3. Thank you in advance.
That took...much longer than I would have liked, and after seeing the submissions in this thread, I worried I strayed a bit or didn't do enough...

Here's my submission for Lesson 2
Once I got to the form intersections, I took a break from this to do the 250 Cylinder Challenge, so there's an eight-month gap before the 'Post' images, my second attempt at the dissections, and the intersections. Once the challenge was complete, a few extra arrows and organic forms were drawn to ensure that I still knew how to do them.
I had the biggest trouble understanding the dissections as a simple texture transferal. Not only did I take the texture, I also modified the underlying shape a bit in some cases, and heavily applied texture all over the form. When I read the lesson again after the 250 Cylinder Challenge, I felt that the first attempt was incorrect, and made two more dissections that take the texture without modifying the forms original shape too much.
Anyway thanks in advance taking the time to critique my submission.

Apologies for the late reply, I started a graveyard shift and had to sleep most of the day x_x
Thank you. I wanted to do this and/or Lesson 2 while the critiques were still free, but combine life stuff and little "excuses" not to do the work, and, well... here we are, two years later. When I focused more on figure drawing stuff, I would always warm up using one of those sheets with the lines and ellipses, and draw a cube afterward, trying to incorporate the lessons into everything I draw. You've really helped me improve and I can't thank you enough :)
I'll move on to Lesson 2 today (night x_x) and change up how I add line weight. Thanks again!

Here's my submission. I hate how long this took because of life stuff...and motivation issues (around 8 months). I tried to make mini challenges for drawing the cylinders to try and make a wider range of cylinders. I was trying to bold out the outlines of each cylinder by super imposing, but I don't think I conveyed that very well...

I just wanted to share this here. I remember finding this here a year ago, but I'm not sure if you or some other user posted it. It's an album with two warm-up sheets. The first focuses on superimposing, and the other focuses on ellipses.
I finish one sheet at the start of each drawing session, then I make a box or an arrow/ribbon on the back.

Your lessons have motivated me to draw more.
O box god, please bless my boxes!

Last attempt. Glad we're not graded on accuracy.... These are the same plants from before, but flipped in the second half of the references.
I think I got it this time and I'm starting to re-assess how I approached construction initially, but that far center leaf is just so wide.
