Just another to add to my collection. It was so hard to get all the details in the croissants, due to the fact that they're flaky....oh well.

one thing i'd like to see in your work is sharper edges. between lighting your main objects (the flesh of the fruit and the baked goodness) from the top and outlining the leaves, you lose a lot of the realism of this piece, despite your absolutely stunning colors. try lighting the next berry from the side, or at least giving it a secondary side light, and play with the edge that it forms.
at the moment, even your bottom strawberry, that's lit a little from the right, looks a little like you drew a cartoony-and-seed-less outline in there first and then applied beautiful color and detail to the area created.
keep up the amazing work, btw. its too luscious to pass by ^^
The strawberries look so real, and I love how you added that reddish-sienna color to the croissants: it makes them look really nice with the strawberies. The texture of the piece is awesome. You are truly skilled with colored pencils.

I love the colors on this drawing. It's just amazing how you managed to bring out the rich colors of the food. I'd imagine the croissants are a little tougher to draw convincingly due to its texture. Maybe if you reduced the dark, thick outlines and roundness of the croissants' edges, they'd turn out more realistic, although maybe you weren't going for realism. Flakiness usually looks a little rougher and translucent in the light.
The strawberries look perfect enough to eat!! Yum!
