Note - my shadows are a little goofy (actually a lot) - but it's just to give you an idea.
Hey Dan - of all your drawings, I think I like this one the most - it's the most grounded - and shows some good observational skills.
1. I think the only thing I would do - is to make your tin holding the brushes just a little rounder - it seems to be flattening out at the top. The lines on the left also seem to flatten it out. Make sure they wrap around that tin - make me feel that thing.
2. Watch your shadows - make them a little more convincing - it seems you have light coming from two different directions. e.g. your spool of thread, the light is coming from the right and above, whereas the leg of of your doll is shaded on the inside right.
3. The shading in the back - I'm unclear if that is intended as shadow - or if it's supposed to be the wall - again if it's shadow - your light source is conflicting with the spool of thread. Also makes sure your shadows connect with the foreground or the ground plane or it will look weird.
I know this is unsolicited - but attached is a "visual suggestion" - and only that. Your composition in and of itself is pretty good, and the drawing is clear and obvious. Good work.
