Jalapenos (can't be arsed to make a ~n here) are not that even, they are ever so slighly bumpy. Plus they are quite shiny.
Also for something like this, why do you even need lineart. Just block in colours after or while looking at reference.
Just made this in about 5 minutes, picking colours as I went. From here colours could be refined and the whole thing could be polished, as in aa and such.
