It's easy to say "close enough" but there are a lot of details you might skimp over when doing it quickly. Would definitely suggest to tone down the amount of objects you're painting (ie. worry about the slice of that squash(?) and notice the subsurface scattering, the slight hint of reflected green on the table, or the occlusion shadows between the slice and the table).
Glad to hear you're getting more confident. -thumbs up-
thanks for the great feedback! that makes a lot of sense. slowing down and focusing on a few objects sounds like just what the doctor ordered. painting is incredibly out of my comfort zone and i'd feel so overwhelmed if it weren't for the wonderful people on these forums guiding me along. so thanks again!
