It looks contrived. I think I overdid the color maybe? Or didn’t get my shading right?

I’ll work on those leaves – would you work in some more yellow tones? They seem a little gray. I was afraid I had oversaturated my radishes because they are super dark red. More like beets. I thought about maybe running an eraser over them to lighten them up a bit. Do they look too dark to you?

I tried to draw it flat but had to erase. I used earth green to shadow the other beans but think it was too light. Any suggestions? Think I’ll do some leaves and vines around the edge and in the corner.

Yes my embossed lines were too straight. I Was afraid to use it – think I had Embossing Tool Panic Syndrome. 😂 I’m going back in to do more blending and “messing up” with my pencils. I am learning that putting something away for a couple of days and coming back to it is a huge help. Thank you!!

And I should have put in another embossed line on the right. Not sure what kind of onions these are but they are all a little oddly shaped.

Not sure how to do that stem “well” – they don’t look right. Also is my pear highlight too much? Do you tone the highlight on matte colors but keep it light on shiny surfaces?
