Trying to figure out this tablet thing. Here's the latest mediocrity:

Please supply brutal and/or constructive critique.

    This looks really good. The shine on the lower neck of the bottle doesn't really seem to mesh with the shape you've got going on in profile; the shiny part sort of makes it look like that area has melted in a little or something. But I applaud you nonetheless, because drawing shine on bottles is not easy.

    What kind of tablet are you working with?

    That, and your strokes are everywhere and messy.

    You should try laying blocks of color, then more blocks of color; rather than blocks of color and then stripes of shading. Not quite sure how to explain it in further detail than that, though.

    dunno if this is the type of crit you are looking for but the perspective appears way off on the table above the bottle (and on the edge now that I look closer) due to the way you shaded it. If the table was actually shaped like that then try keeping your reflection lines parallel to the ones below the bottle.
