Green Pepper

I need to go back and add something to this. The colors that are in the shadow under the pepper should be IN the pepper itself. The darks are not dark enough, if that makes sense.

How I Drew This. #1 in a new series.

So maybe it was last weekend...I was sitting on my butt couch not feeling like I wanted to do much of anything. Not that unusual, I suppose.
