Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

The stone look rather far in the deformation within the reflection specially if the object is rounded.It not the deformation itself that is in fault but the scale i feel the stone sit so close to the object yet seem so far in the reflection.

This very cool for the gold chain i am not really feeling the separation in the chain it feel more like a gold rope like object but i think this an issue of scale but also it doesn't help that there a gold object behind that. As one could say ''give it time'' such small detail generally only arrive around 2 to 3 hour of work depending on experience but this a small piece so it no so much that there alot of thing to deal with but reflective material is added difficulty and painting small is a problem in itself.

You are way more qualified than me when it come to properly achieve texture digital such as gold so i keep my comment to readability and reflection.

I think i am mostly echoing you because sometime it necessary.
