My 2nd Sketchbook fruit drawing

Hello Hive Community!

I'm back to my regular drawing once again. Last time, I drew an orange fruit using Autodesk Sketchbook and I was so happy with the result on my first attempt. It garnered more than a dollar and that's for me a big achievement as a newly crafted wannabe artist. ^^

I am also running a challenge for myself and whoever wants to participate. It's called draw your hero challenge. I already made some first attempts and one of those was the Deadpool which attracted the eyes of our dear curators. I was so happy with the positive outcome. It did give me more motivation to practice more in illustration and drawing. Good luck to me!

For this post, I want to share with you a red apple I just drew this morning. ^^

I feel the orange one is more beautiful than this apple. But what do you think? Did I mess up the shading of this apple?

Below are the following steps I followed shown in every photo.

Number of layers: 15
Time: almost 2 hours
Tools: Ink pen brush and pencil
