Hi I am new here and am just showing my first sig. I would like some advice on how to get better and would like to know what you guys think.

Thanks in advance

Looks nice as a first, little to monochromatic

WAAAY better than my first sig..
Try to work on smaller canvases a bit and maybe slightly larger renders to fill up some more space :)

lighting effects first try!?!?!
well text isnt bad but it will be improved as long as you stay here.
it is mostly brown which sort of makes it a bit boring but you'll learn to fix that too.
it doesnt have much blending into a sort of empty background eigther.

smaller sig sizes are better..work on that for sure..
colours..try to vary them so you can have variety
u tried out lighting that's great..
best thing you can do is try new things..
keep it up...and read tuts..they help
