Now that is a handsome twig! It feels so solid. I like the differing textures on the inner and outer bark.

This is really looking spherical! but I’m getting an outline. Observe and think about the shadow directly under the tomato. I call it the “sit down shadow” It shouldn’t come up the side so far and should sort of “puddle” slightly under the tomato.

Hi Katherine, such a cheery drawing! I want to see some more darks. A cast shadow on the apple under those right hand leaves would make a nice separation. Be careful not to have a white line between the apples and the leaves.

Another beauty. Love the lettering!

Woah

I spent a long time looking at this one. Really stunning.

Beautiful! And it brings back happy memories of gardening in California.
