Hey Douglass, Nice seeing you in the workshop! We already commented on this lovely citrus piece, but I will restate that I think you can take both drawings further with colored pencil. Bring in more darks. and hit the highlights with some white specks in the center. Be careful not to go too gray with the lemon. Also add more dots on the lemon, so it doesn’t look like “chicken pox” Try to use a circular motion with the toning, to mimic the pattern on the surface.

I still think that color in the pulp is exquisite here, Douglass. 🙂
