Chocolate Mood

Still life classwork for digital markers class, this time experimenting with split complementary colours. I've tried to make it as close to the ref as possible, but my rendering of the background doesn't do the chocolate justice *siiigh* And I'm still finding ways to work with blurred objects (bokeh effect of the photo-ref...)
