make it brick color.

I take it you are shooting for a stylized look to these? Tighten up the edges a bit. The edges are way too soft.

for hand painted stairs I prefer to make one step texture that tiles horizontaly which I offset for each step to break up that repeating look. Here's an example I made for someone else a while back, they were trying to do curved stairs but you should get the idea:




if you want to stick with repeating the individual bricks, make every side of the brick unique looking so you can rotate them various ways to break up the repeating pattern of cracks you have going on right now.

apple from a tutorial :
CC welcome

It's certainly a good start, but I have some more tips.

Experiment with more than one hue. Right now, your apple is entirely green (from light green to dark green). I'm sure that when you look very closely to an apple, you can see hints of yellow, brown, etc.

Also, your highlights and shadows can be more convincing when you use a color for them instead of just 'white' or 'dark green'.

Imagine an environment in which the apple sits. If it's outdoors, the highlights will have a feint blue tint because of the reflection of sky. If it's under a light bulb, give in a yellow tint. Same for shadows, think on what surface the apple sits and what color would be reflected onto the apple.

Don't be afraid to use some color in it all.

here's a quick paint over of what I think about your apple:


1- reflection exists from anywhere, I tried to add somewhat a sky to it. Make it shine, apple material needs that.
2- shadow and specular for the concave and convex surfaces, gives the sense that there's a volume and shape to it.
3- reflection from the ground (white)

I also added a bit more contrast and edited the outlines of it so it looks sharper.

love to hear your advice guys

I like the progress but I think Conceptart.org forums would be a better place for this.

It helps creating a shadow to your apple from where the light is coming from. Looking better. Give it a bit finished lines to the silhouette.

get an apple , put it in front of you and study it
try to approach the colors you see and keep the environment surrounding it in mind

good luck
