I really enjoyed the bell pepper tutorial. After working through it I decided to try something a tad more difficult.

I like how it came out.
ehh great tutorial but not really diggin that it should be in the plus tutorial lets get some advance stuff up
Sorry, but this is just bad
The shadows look a bit too squarish imo.. still looking nice though
Nice outcome. I keep wanting to see a slight shadow under the leaves. Nevertheless, looks good though.
actually Jonathan, there should be one
, at least I remember adding one.
the outcome is horrible.
it’s incredibly sloppy and jagged.
