Hello, I practiced drawing and coloring a lime instead of a green tomato. I think the darker shadow should have blended more towards the lighter shadow. I’m very curious what you think about this. Greetings, Ingrid
Hi Ingrid- you’re instinct is correct. There should be a range of tones transitioning left from the dark tone toward the highlighted area. This will give the lime it’s form. The colored tone bar you have above the lime is really good and that is what you are striving for on the lime itself. In regards to the reflected light, you do not want it to be a controlled white line. You could tone the white down a little by adding some color. Also have it be less controlled in shape and blend it into the darker toning abutting it. I thought this was a green tomato because of the color and also I did not see the texture I associate with a lime. You are off to a good start!
@doug-milne Hello Doug, Thank you for your feedback. The tips are very valuable. Because I have not yet learned the techniques of structure, I have not tried to apply it yet in this study. I will practice this at another time.
