@Wontag:
Thanks for the visit! My last few posts were a reckless attempt (or rather temptation) to do color again without a plan, as you noted (and I noted it too as a poor disclaimer). I should go back to drawing indeed, especially that I don't have much time for my comics.
@jondawo:
You are right, I'm all over the place and it's hard to tell a direction. The only firm direction I have is storytelling but it's not obvious. So, thank you so much for the kind words and also picking a topic to help me out.
I think you nailed it with the occlusions and reflections, it looks much more real now!
The botched bright lines were my attempt at edge scattering, but looking back at it this would probably happen only if the light source was almost opposite to the eye.
I had painted the bottom faces the same color as the front faces initially but the shape didn't read well so I decided that the cube was floating not far from a dark ground and there was some occlusion going on.
Thank you again for taking all the time to pick this study!
Update:
I am still in a non-visual period, munching my stories mostly in my head, living the lives of the characters in my flesh and heart. At some point things will pop and turn into images.
