I like the flow of the lines. It reminds me of some Glenn Vilppu drawings and parts of the construction remind me of Bridgeman. I don't feel a need to critique any proportions or technical draftsman stuff because I feel the movement through the body and the weight of the bod is understood. Very nice. I would like to see what your longer drawings look like. How far do you take it?

Hey Elson, Nice job working from life. The problem I am seeing in your drawing is that your reflected light is too light. This is a common issue with beginners. I know the lemon is a light color, but you still need to create some darker notes, like the occlusion shadow under the lemon. I did a real quick sketch to show you what I mean, I hope this helped :)

Nice job, @Elson sunshine! As far as the basic principles go, I second @Steve Lenze’s comments (he’s given some pertinent tips worth considering as you keep going). And if you’re that kind of person (like I am) that often takes it too hard on themselves, I’d also say you can relax a bit and take these considerations lightly - you’re on track! Keep practicing and do a few more of these simple objects with basic lighting and you should see yourself getting the hang of it in no time. Make sure to take a look at Stan’s video on Shading Light and Form – Basics for another set of helpful tips before your further practice sessions. And if you start to enjoy this and really want to get in-depth about shading (like, really), you could consider checking out @Dorian Iten’s The Shading Course – Fundamentals of Realism, Light & Shadow. Hope this helps! Best of luck.

Hey Elson, looks good. Before I give my opinion, can I ask how you feel about it? Are you proud of it? What was difficult?

Hey Elson, Nice drawing. I think though you need to make sure the body is symmetrical. You'll see in my sketch that there is more mass on the left side of the centerline than the right. Always make sure your structure is working before you add all the rendering. I hope this helps :)
