Perfect combo, Sara! 🙂 Really nice job on the highlight and shadow tones of the pumpkin! The stem looks great, too. One thing to think about as you do more drawings is the placement of your cast shadow. If you want the pumpkin to appear like it is sitting on a surface, the cast shadow probably wouldn’t creep so far up the right side… I would keep it down in the lower right. The difference is, like, which “face” the pumpkin is sitting on… Right now, it’s almost as if the pumpkin is touching the surface on its back, whereas if you move the shadow, it will look more like it is sitting on its bottom. Does that make sense?

thank you! I’m on it. I knew the shadow wasn’t right but felt puzzled by it. If there’s one technique I’ve mastered while learning to draw it’s erasing!
Yummy enough to eat

Love it, as usual. 🙂
