Hey there! Well done here! So. The shadow area is too bright; you need to refine or better indicate the terminator, core shadow, and reflected/bounced light. The bounce light shouldn't be brighter than the halftones (the transitions are between light and shadows). On the other hand, the cast shadow below the sphere shouldn't be bright; instead, it needs to be darker. Keep in mind that the cast shadow is the projection of the figure on the ground or on another surface; therefore, it has to be darker. You can paint a gradient on the corners, where the cast shadow is far from the figure. Hope this helps! | Artwod Feedback
