Gift for a fellow mushroom enthusiast: I arranged several of my mushroom drawings using photoshop in a way that could wrap around a mug. She loved it 🙂

I did too. This is looking so much more 3D – great job! Yup I think you could still go a bit darker on the lower left inside of the cup.

THat makes sense. Maybe just crisp up some edges a bit if possible. It’s hard on such small subjects.

I love the two different sizes of pomegranates, and the way you balance them out with the other red elements.

Your color matching is great. There are some areas where I’m seeing the grain of the paper, and I think you could go back in with a really sharp colored pencil, and lightly fill those in, or maybe even try burning to try to even things out. But great, fun drawing. Love it.

I think you could sharpen your color pencil and build your layers a little more lightly and more slowly. I wonder whether you could get a little detail in that darkest large shadow area.
