The image I'm seeing doesn't have much of a shadow. However, if you only want one shadow, adjust your shadow settings or check your hdri background. Include an image of the results you'd like to achieve and perhaps we can help you a bit more.

I'm selling my copy of flamingo nxt. It's a commercial license and legal for resale. Comes with the cd, case, and booklet with cd-key. It goes new for 500 but I'll sell mine for 400 or a reasonably priced offer. PM me if you're interested.

Your application of color is good (which can be hard with markers) and your highlights are good too. What I see very often from people getting into sketching/rendering is that there is a hurry to lay down color because, well it's gratifying to be honest. However, the best colored picture still can seem amateur if the proportions and perspective are off. I'd encourage you to keep working on your perspective as you determine your linework for the drawing. All in all, great first go at it!

Thank you!

A sign I designed for a company I worked for

You're making your irises and pupils too small which gives you this creepy wide-eyed look. The super bright green and the black lipstick effect doesn't help either. I'll try to sketch something over the top if I can get to it

this is fantastic!

Go for it spit as as many drawings as you're able! Work on your perspective before adding color. Most of your motorcycle wheels aren't parallel in perspective and it makes them look like they're twisting. Also google car proportion and motorcycle proportion diagrams; if you use those as an underlay at first it will help your designs seem more believable. Great energy! Keep it up!

A favor for a friend

Great sketch! Next time, try to steer away from blue pen and notebook paper.

much appreciated.
