Did you want the red box to blend in with the background? I don't want to critique it if that was the intent originally. The box is very well drawn you're dead on with how i remember Pocky stick boxes to look.
these are very good. i like the strawberry kind the most. I need to find somehwere that sells them. maybe a change in the red background..maybe white or grey, other than that looking good.
I actually did want it to blend in a little, mostly because I love that color. It stood out a wee bit more in the actual photoshop file I think. Woops.
Normally having the background so similar a color wouldn't work, but here it does from the shading/highlights, that accent the shape of the box and help form it even against a similar color. Really good :)
I love pocky! I don't know if I told you this, but at the Bolton Hill Grocery, they sell a knock off pocky brand. it looks exactly the same! And I don't mind the red, it works well. like alexa said, the shading and the highlights help the box stand out; none of the edges of the box are the same value.
You did a lot with so little! It looks so realistic, especially in the thumbnail, despite having mostly simple shading. I like the red as well; it's different enough to stand out for me.
The technical stuff: Each week you are required to post your weekly sketchbook here--they should be uploaded before class each week. (remember, when you're scanning and posting to the blog, sketches should probably be 72 dpi and in Grayscale or RGB. Finals for printing should be scanned at 300 dpi.)
I encourage you to comment on each other's work and post any other projects or doodles you'd like to share or would like input on--this can include progress on class assignments, experiments, or links of interest you think the class would enjoy. This blog is to encourage you to help each other out, get ideas flowing, and see what everyone is up to! Have fun with it!
I'll be posting something myself each week, so stay tuned!

They're also incredibly addictive.
