Next, I start with the deepest shadow. But I don't make it completely black because I see that the darkest shadow on the apple photo is a very
deep red, not black. Another hint is that you can always make the
shadows darker, but it's pretty tough to lighten them. Let's avoid
erasing as much as we can. At this point I haven't put in the midtone
shade. You can see that the left side of the apple has been worked on yet.
