   Hello,
   Here is my late submission of the orange peel drawing. I think I did not used enough middle values.

   This took a lot longer than I thought but I kept on squinting and drawing on. I was stuck in the ugly duckling stage for a while but was happy with the final results. Thank you

   This one had a lot of detail that was required to make it recognizable. I kept smudging it all out as I worked!

    Hi Scott,
    First, I would like to thank you for your youtube drawing videos. They are very helpful, informative and even relaxing. I never thought I can draw, thats why couple years ago I started to color in adult coloring books so I can relax after a long stressful workday. But after I watched your all Drawing Together videos finally decided to try it by myself. I bought all the materials you mentioned in the video description and start drawing. Now I need your honest opinion about this drawing (keeping in mind that this is my first drawing ever).
    Thanks

    Doesn’t make my mouth water, but fun.

    I had trouble with top part of the peeling not coming forward. I was working on white paper so I erased a little more where you added the white charcoal. That helped.

    I had a hard time with the inside of the peel. I am happy though with the rounding of the little bit of peel that is stretched forward on the table

    Thank you so much, Scott, for taking the time to critique! Yes, it makes sense. Here’s the results. It did help a lot! I’ve ever struggled with backgrounds. Lol.

    Wow! This was a workout. Not very happy with my results but hey it all is drawing so I succeeded at that. Thanks Scott for another great session/ lesson… looking forward to the metal reflection.

    Beautiful work! There’s a lot that you’re doing well here. One thing to consider might be to try darkening the background behind the upper portion of the fruit. Right now, there’s little contrast between the background and highlights in that area, with greater contrast between the shadows and background. Darkening the background reverses that dynamic, encouraging the shadows to fall into the background and highlights to project forward. If you bring some of that tone in the background down along the right side of the orange, it might also encourage the form a bit more by advancing the highlights. Does that make sense?

    This one was a real struggle for me. I went into it with confidence, and it wasn’t long before it fizzled! Not too happy with it even before adding the white highlights, so afterwards it still felt flat . I wanted more details but perhaps I over-did it. I think figuring out how to do the value structure was the most difficult, having to convert such intense color to black & white. Any criticism you have, Scott, would be welcome!
