Hi Mary Jo, Lovely drawing! You make that tomato leaf so interesting to look at! I like the curling leaves and the way you are showing the pillows between the veins. I also love the sepals on your little green tomato. I like the richness of the red in the larger tomato, but think the shadow ends abruptly and covers too much of the tomato. I want to see more of that luscious red. Make the gradient more gradual.
Katy, Thanks so much for your comments. I see exactly what you mean about the tomato shadow. This is an excellent lesson for me because I used dark sepia watercolor to put the shadow in before I used the pencils. Also, forgot to use wet on wet. Just tried to correct it with more red pencil but it still doesn’t look right. Thanks again, Mary Jo
