a pole is smooth so the dithering doesn't fit, dithering makes a surface look very textured. Id say that adding a highlight could make the pole more interesting, its very dark now.

Yea you're right I forgot about it. Here Eishiya explained how to use better highlights

Thank you both CFK and Xenon (btw nice seeing you again  ;D) for the critique, I tried doing highlights but I'm not too confident on them here.



By the way I'm not sure yet what to put on the banner (perhaps a reference or something), I'm  usinng this as reference for the banners:



How would I add the folds and highlights as seen in the photo?

As you can see on the picture the left side is the place where light is focused and the tube is blocking next side of this banner

So like this? Also how would I go about adding highlights to the banners? In my reference image they have a tarp-like reflective texture.

I guess it's because of darker color of banner because it's blue (and the highlight is white)

and the shadow isn't that correct because the thing that is covering him is just the tube

Thanks, dunno where I got the idea of the super diagonal shadow from.
