This time, it was a combination of materials and playing with colors a bit. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, actually! A combination of the reference given with the exercise and my own found references for color made for smooth sailing. :)
Surprisingly, the licorice was the most difficult. It was harder to get the photo-realistic render with it than the others. The lollipop was also rather hard, but it was the most fun.
Another delicious exercise finished!
