Lovely shading, the only small criticism is to lower the ellipse at the bottom of the cylinder. Well done!

Nice! And done from life I think? Great work, just darken the shadows to make it stronger! 👍

Nice work! A bit more graded shading would help to show the curved surface, and the shadow is a bit high.

I think this shows great promise! Look out for ‘cat’s eyes’ at either side of the top ellipse, a common mistake, and don’t let the shading behind the cylinder echo the shape of the edge -see the red line. A great effort!
