Cathy, this is a nice eggplant. I really like your drawing of the sepals and stem. You rendered those sections beautifully, and you can feel the thickness of those sepals. I wonder whether the color of the eggplant was this bright of a purple? I also think you could tone more slowly with a really sharp colored pencil to get your toning a bit more smooth. The left and right side of the fruit look like they are the same value. You may want to darken that right side to give it the 3D form.
hi Pam, yes I agree the color of the eggplant – I thin the color of the actual drawing look different -I’lll try your shading suggestions and post it again

Sorry, Cathie. I just saw I misspelled your name!
