Looks like you're off to a good start Tony.
A little tip if you have mounted the flat on a piece of card to paint it draw a little arrow to show where your light source is coming from.


I've done it like this from the top left as an example but you can do it either side it doesn't matter.

Well on the way with this. Rogers tip on directional light is crucial. What you need to consider as you progress is the basecoat, getting it right makes the highlighting and shading much more effective.
Looking forward to your next one

Good start Tony. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on this. Don't be afraid to punch up the contracts to enhance the 3D effect

Looking good for a first flat. My opinion is that a little darker paint in spots and a little lighter paint in spots and you will right there amongst 'em.
