Well, this is my first major still-life completely digital. I feel like I learned a ton, and really happy with the time spent. Any and all critique/feedback would be tremendously appreciated as I am really needing to buckle down for a portfolio submission.
Spent 15-16 hours total, CS3, and loooooots of cream soda. Cheers!

This turned out really nice, great practice! You've done really well keeping everything nice and clean which is what most people have trouble with I feel like.
I think my main crit would be that you're going to pure black really quickly in your shadows, and it's fighting the illusion of light to a degree. You might try taking a photo of your still life and converting it to black and white, then doing a study based on that to try and understand the values a little bit better, and then after doing a few of those have another attempt in color and try and not use pure black at all except in the deepest, darkest accents.
Either way though, great work for a first still life! You've really applied yourself and this is how you're gonna learn and improve, so keep up the great practice!
