Hey Octo! In response to that Anon before me- I believe your shading would look a lot better if you tried to choose just one angle for the lighting to be coming from-- and perhaps try looking at references for shading on whatever it is that you're attempting to draw. (:

Ah, this is much more helpful than the last anon. Thank you! lighting is still very difficult for me to grasp, I suppose. I will for sure try using more references. Thank you very much :D
