use an actual apple! :D or some other stuff lying around.
then you will see everything :)
If you do a study of an apple, be sure to what you want to study - maybe perfectly drawing an apple is not the important stuff, but how light reacts.
means- take an apple, take a simple lightsource, draw the apple.
watch out for things like
- where is the main reflection
- what values has the shadow
- how is the actual drop shadow influenced
- where and how does the bouncelight from the desk meet the apple
- why does the surface of the apple look like it does (smooth, organic)
- is there rim lighting?
etc etc
just observe and your mind will flood over from information you are gathering by drawing a simple apple.
other than that- your shadows are not completely dark or black, which is good, the colors are not too saturated, your edges are very sharp, you seem to have a consistent blending, so not bad for your very first artwork ;-)
