Froz3n: Thanks! I won’t be doing more fruit in the near future, however. There’s just an endless supply of fruits and vegetables and I’ll never get to the other stuff I want to paint.
Nate & Flo: Thanks for the crit! Yeah spot on with that size difference observation… I was partially deluding myself from the truth I refused to see. Thanks for calling me out! And Flo, I’ll definite think about that composition in next ink drawing. His arm got cut off ‘cos that was where the page ended. Composition is something I really want to study more.
Stardust: Thanks mate!
Lyra: After re-examining the car painting when it’s dry and in actual sun light during day time (instead of a lamp in basement at 11pm), I thought I’d leave further yellow out of the lights in this one, but I get your point, and even read about being conscious and judging of {Naples} yellow amount in outdoor light. This is a conscious decision, not laziness, mind you!

Apparently I have trouble getting artistically productive after a day or even half a day of job application. At best I spent the rest of the day scratching away at the same sheep drawing, at worse I go play pc games.
Also realized there’s never-ending source of interesting-looking fruits and vegetables for still life painting, and if I don’t stop myself, I’ll never get to the other stuff I want to paint. So this measly fruit still life is the last I’ll do for the near future. That water lily is the sorrowfully little result of a day of plein air gone to the winds. I always said I'd come back out to paint more, but, alone, I never trek that distance with all those art supplies... .
After dealing with random pressure sensitivity for so long, I finally realized I had to uncheck Use Windows Ink in the Mapping tab of Grip Pen in Photoshop. Then save and backup that whole damn preference setting.
