I have added more mid and darker tones as suggested and tried to sort out the edges of the drawing with a verithin pencil. I find edges difficult as the colour seems to want to spread out! I have also completed a section of the tangerine but not sure whether it looks dry or juicy?
Pam, your round forms are looking much more round, now that you’ve added that contrast! Excellent. Re: edges, try turning your paper and using a sharp pencil to define those edges. I find that turning the paper helps, because there are just some curves that my hand doesn’t want to confidently make, leading to fuzzy edges. Give that a try and let me know if it helps.

A Happy New Year to you all.
