Mooi hoor maar mis een beetje contrast hier en daar 😅

Hi Ashok

I think the proportions of your drawing are very good. The contrast is pretty weak. It seems like it is all the same shade. Try stretching your values and it will really make your drawing stand out.

A good exercise would be to take a good picture of your drawing now, and then go back and add dark shading and bright highlights. You can also add a shadow of the bowl, to ground your drawing. Figure out where your light source is coming from and shade accordingly.

Then compare the before and after drawings.

Ashok, Larry is absolutely right 👍

Your proportions are very good, and that’s a strong foundation. But right now most of your values are sitting in a similar range, which is why the drawing feels a bit flat.
Try to push your darkest darks more, especially in the areas where fruits overlap and inside the bowl. At the same time, protect your highlights so the contrast becomes clearer. That difference between light and dark is what will make your drawing stand out. Also, adding a clear cast shadow under the bowl will help ground it and make it feel more realistic. Before shading further, take a moment to decide where your light source is coming from and stay consistent with it.
You’re very close. With just better value range and contrast, this will improve a lot. Keep going 💪

Yes great proportions and nice smooth shading. Keep it up.
