Richard, it’s been really fun to watch you progress. This is really nice! Your toning is nice and smooth, and you are getting rich, saturated colors. Your highlights look great, and you are getting a nice range of values and 3 dimensional form. I think you could push that 3D form with darker core shadows on your fruits, but you have done a great job. You should be proud. I would take a look at that leaf that’s under the yellow fruit. Notice where there are two small shapes where the leaf is curling a bit. Now imagine you flattened that leaf out – those 2 bumps would be a part of that shape, which wouldn’t be correct – just a little exercise you can do in your head when evaluating whether a leaf drawing makes sense. Keep these drawings coming Richard. You are getting better with every post!
