yup jus like that. but a bit shorter (reffering to the line)

The diagonal one that looks like the projected end of the shadow.

your grapefruit is quite circle shaped but the shading stops like an oval. Also, they aren't that flat. try moving the bump on the top higher up. Furthermore, you could probably have used less colors in it. Furtherfurther more, I'm not very familiar with shadows, but should it really dark yellow?

i think you should try to dither it, it'd give a nice texture on the fruit

 

Blick: Thank you for the advice Blick, but I like using alot of colors. I'm not saying theres anything wrong with limiting your palette, It's just not my style.

leel: Thank you for the tip! I'll try dithering and see if it comes out right (But I warn you I'm not a very good ditherer!)

JJ_Maxx: Thank you JJ_Maxx, I was having so much trouble getting the shadow right! Ill be sure to trim the edges, I was planning on doing it after i got the shadow and general shading correct.

Id bring the right side in a bit, it seems to bulge out.

this is what I mean by the weird shading.  The orange shading.
I didn't do the dither completely, but you get the jist of it. Gist? jist. whatever. I wasn't referring to the shadow. You see, on his, the shading just...abruptly stops. It isn't a full circly shape. It almost makes it look like a wedge was cut out of it.

The little bump should be worked on, it's just a circle. There should be darker shades too. It's too lightly shaded.

Aaaand....work on the shadow, I think it'd be cast differently. I didn't work on the shape of it myself, I just changed it because I didn't like the yellow.

Sorry...um....um....just look at the first image i posted and see what I messed around with. To a certain extent it should have shading more like that. I'm not very good at explaining things in an easy way...sorry..

I Tried dithering and fixing the shadow. What do you think?

Thats a good idea. What color would you suggest (I can't decide)?

Like this?

the bottom right hand part of the grapefruit is too straight. It doesn't seem as round as everything else. I like the update, though.

It looks odd shaped on the right side, almost as if there's a tumor.

It looks oddly shaped because most grapefruits arent perfect circles. They are more oval shaped. Examples:
