Hi Julie, You just keep getting better and better! As you are bringing in the darker values be careful not to have a dark ring around the outside. The darkest area should be that core shadow, which doesn’t go to the edge, but wraps around the shadow side. The reflective light would be on the edge of the tomato. And your cast shadow would be darker directly under the subject.
Thanks. I find it helpful to watch the videos several times–even though they’re short I pick up new tips. It is fun to draw these, then eat my models….
Yes, one of the joys of drawing edibles. When I first started drawing botanical subjects, I focused on avocados and grapes. I bought them, I drew them, then I ate them.
