Can I have some C+C? I'm new to this and I need a little bit of help on knowing what I could do better. I'm gonna do a background later.

It looks very good to me, even if you weren't new to this. Here's a few minor notes to consider-

• The colors seem a bit intense to me, but that may be my personal preference.

• You have a little bit of a shift from an orange to a very warm red under the cap, but I feel like that red is too warm to be a shadow. Maybe add some more blue to it.

• The stem itself could probably use a tiny shadow on the right side of it.

• The rim of the cap has three spots of bright highlight on it, but I think that the one on the right shouldn't have the bright yellow orange on it. There's also a tiny amount of banding under the rim in that spot.

• I think it's good that you didn't use a black outline. Try varying the line color though, like using one of the lighter colors on the side with the highlight. Also try using some of that color within the mushroom instead of only on the outline.


I made a little edit with all of those notes. I think I managed to keep the same number of colors that you used, although the underside of the cap may have been a little better with one extra color.

Thanks. Tried changing the colors up and made it not so outlined. Color will probably change more whenever I make a background.



(Can't set transparency from this computer since mine is broken right now.)

Looks pretty good. I think you should push a bit more for darker shadows to give it more depth, though.

Having trouble making a background but fixed up the colors and shading.
