Hi Katie- as with your other pieces, the papaya is beautifully rendered and great color selections. It just needs more color saturation. The great thing with color pencil is that if you think you have gone too far it is usually easy to lift some of the layers of pencil with a kneaded eraser or even take more of it off with an eraser. Be sure as you add more saturation to not lose your highlight or range of tones that give the papaya it’s form. It helps to keep adjusting it as you add layers, but you can also do it at the end when you think you are fully saturated.
