added comment inPart 6 - Tentacle Demo 2
Just finished Part 5 (Shading from Imagination), and moved on to Part 6 (Tentacle Demo 2). I'm having a problem, however, since I can't find any way to view it in Full Screen mode. Unlike the earlier parts, this part has no controls in the frame, so it's either view it in small-screen mode, or skip it. Is there a solution to this problem, and, if so, what is it?

This technical glitch should have been resolved by now- all good?

Number 5 is my favorite for appeal, but numbers 6,7,9, and 10 are excellent also. Thanks for sharing.
I really like the last one. You've captured emotion, atmosphere, and a real sense of "presence."

Asked for help
These are attempts to duplicate the work of other artists as practice. I'd really appreciate some constructive criticism.
Here's a video on Proko's channel on shading that you might find helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dqGkHWC5IU&t=592s One important thing he often says about shading is that your lightest dark is darker than your darkest light, so it's important to first group your values into the shadows and highlights. Think first about the major planes and forms with shading before getting into the shading of specific places. I think you could maybe benefit from using more gradients on the edges of your shadows. Keep up the good work!
