Wow, what a fun fruit, Eileen! This is looking great. You really captured the structure of those bumps–great attention to detail. I recommend some more saturation here so that the green color is closer to the actual fruit and the object feels more “opaque?” Maybe just some darker tones on the right side would do it, but try to maintain slight highlights on the bumps as you do so. Maybe also vary the line width in between bumps? Just so they feel less like “outlines.” Lovely work. Where did you get this fruit? What does it look like inside?
Thanks, Vern. I’ll keep working at it! I found it in central park – I’m reluctant to cut it open because I only have the one – and kind of like it – interested in seeing how long it will last!

Do you know what this is? Is it Osage Orange? Does it smell citrusy?

Great texture!
Wow what a challenge! Really good texture. You are so brave to do this!
