Quick tips for blender there a rock generator 
 
Just type extra object in the addon menu section in the edit/preference menu in the top bar.

You can find the rock generator in the mesh menu. It not very necessary i give you that but it still help populate the scene it better then having the scene ''empty'' this what you can test composition and rock arrangement. Give a rock some friend...

Also you probably can find a model that as rigging function this way you can test pose just need to learn some basic about rigging... just get a model that pre rig to save time save it as an asset and if you want you get it ready for the next test...and the bonus is that with a model you have a better sense of proportion inside the scene probably not a problem since you don't seem to do scene where you don't put character so far but still good to know.

Also one thing be careful with the light if you don't import material everything is the same there is no change in reflectivity roughness of material which might end up in the final result if you are not careful i think your advance enough not to fall for this just something i mention because i don't see any material change between the object.

Thanks for all the tips!! I didn't know about the rock generator, it could come very handy, I'll give it a try for sure for sure!

In fact, I use a phone app (called poseit) when I need specific reference for a character pose, I take photos of me, too, that's what I did for the face, recreating a similar lighting scenario. But I want to learn to manipulate characters in Blender, for sure. I plan on learning that in order to cook all of my ingredients in the same kitchen lol

Yep I didn't bother applying materials to save time. I then relied on photo references for the aspect, reflectiveness/shininess of the differents objects. I think I wouldve done it if the materials were particularly shiny or with specific properties like glass or polished stone for example.

Thanks for the feedback, as always :)
