Very convincing! I can practically smell them :) I for one think the 
black jaggies are realistic. Crayola always used rough paper for the 
wrappers, making the print not-so-perfect. I think the whole scene looks 
very close to real life, except for one thing: the yellow crayon is a 
little too bright, IMO. It might be the way I have my monitor adjusted 
though. Good work!
