Opp, it's not even underneath! They're just decorating the Christmas tree!
But hey, it can be good sometimes, especially when related to a song.Sorry 'bout the quality: I am at my friend's house, and they have no scanner and computer, so I had to use my Android tablet to upload the deviation.

Merry CRITmas!
I'm having a quick peek at the galleries of the artists who really outdid themselves during this challenge, and if luck's with me I miiiight have some couple useful things to tell you so hang one, here it comes:
Firstly, some praise: I think you did great with the light, wow! It's really consistent, shining in all the right places and none of the wrong ones. I think this really is what makes this such a meritable piece, so for that, congratulations! I also like the sweet details, like the framed picture. Very cute!
A note of concern from me though would be that the picture as a whole is looking a bit dark and greyish. I might have a tip for you there, and since a picture tells you more than a thousand words, I found you a fancy link:

As you can see, a substantional part of the lemon is simply left white. That's where the light is brightest, and so you don't acually need to colour it, for the eyes to register that as the light part of the lemon.
You'll also notice that the dark parts have some browns hatched into them. That's the indirect light, which has first bounced off the brown tablecloth (effectively turning into brown light) and then onto the lemon. In between, where the light is neither absent nor prominent, you'll see the actual colour of the fruit. That's how it goes with coloured surfaces: their colour is the most true and saturated in the mid-tones.
Also, if you study the crosshatching in the picture carefully, you'll see that only in very few places, the colour of the paper isn't showing through anymore. This is what gives the drawing a very pleasant and light feel - really light lights, and dark darks used sparingly. The number one thing that muddles up a drawing is trying to add light on top of something already coloured. It will never become as light as you want, and pushes areas in to greys instead.
That's all I got. I hope it was of use - have a fruitful and inspiring 2015!
