Apple Bits

Wanted to get the ball rolling here so didn't spend too long on it.

Slicing and splitting is going to be the next step. Decided on apples to start with to better understand shading and not get too caught up on details.

Just a couple of hours here so pretty pleased with the outcome.

Slices

Not quite where I want to be but I'll take it.

This kind of floating look needs a lot of work.

Light

Couldn't quite get it, but really feel the concept.

The yellow ocre and browns were too thick, could be remedied but I'll keep it at this and work on coloring layer. Real glad to be over my sausage finger fear.

Sliced

Experimenting with a few different brush strokes to demonstrate weightlessness.

Giving the pixels a floating quality is pretty simple, but with a vibrant backdrop, purpose and direction can be given also.
