Realistic Apple 🍎 Art Study

Hi all! Was wondering if anyone had any feedback or tips on this study I did. I feel like I struggled the most with the light on the lower half of the apple, as depicted in the last slide. One thing I was trying to practice was color theory, and that’s the only part of the Apple that I needed to color pick from the reference to understand what values/saturation I needed. I still couldn’t get it to look quite right. I gave up trying to get it completely accurate to the reference after that lol. Looking at it now I think I could have softened the edges of the Apple a bit as well. I used the round and soft brush for most of this. Any other tips/feedback on how I can improve is greatly appreciated, thanks! 🍎
