Yes, you are right. This is my second attempt at digital painting, but i've realized that i almost know nothing about the fundamentals (Shadow, color, composition, etc.) since when i used to draw a couple of years ago i mostly did portraits of people/animals. Shadows/light source is something i struggle with, any tutorial to recommend me?

> Tube itself looks extremely simple and cartoony while the face looks like "children's cartoon" was NOT your desired aesthetic; study some photos of cylinders/shapes in general) to improve this. Maybe watch some tutorials on how to color metallic surfaces too, somebody linked good ones in the last thread.

Yes, that was a fast sketch. I don't want it to look cartoony. I will follow your advice and check some tutorials on how to collor metal


> The colors of your piece are muddy and unappealing.

Yes, i didn't like it neither, i think i will just copy the color palette of some HR giger painting

Thanks for your advice.
