Yeah, I'm still a beginner. I tried to put a great shade in it, but it looks really fake. The shade and details are crappy, but I did this to practise and I will really appreciate it if you give C&C so I can learn and get better :D What it is? Well, it's a table with a tablecloth and a cactus. EDIT; Well, I worked on the tips you guys gave me! EDIT2 ; Thanks to Adam :)

Sorry for the doublepost, I just made a quick edit correcting the perspective:

Also changed the new shadow under the desk to be a bit more consistent with the shadow of the cactus.

As mentioned before, it's a good start. The shading of the folds is nice, though they are really repetitive. The perspective of the desk and the floor is different. For geometrical settings like these drawing the vanishing lines usually helps a lot. Also some shadow under the desk would separate it from the floor and enhance the depth and volumes a bit better.

The shadow under the cactus makes it look as if it is floating, push it back about 1 pixel, that should make it a little nicer looking. I'd even go as far as darkening the shadow so its more visible. Great beginner piece though! I love the Latin atmosphere this picture portrays.

Not bad for a first piece.

Too bad the folds are copy-pasted, it would look much better if they were somehow different from each other. And the whole picture needs more depth, I would add some more color shades..
