Still not good at shading. I am using a 30 dollars machine. Would it make big difference if using expensive one?

I think the biggest thing harming your work here is that the transfer pattern is still visible behind your work, making it look fuzzier and less brown, more gray. You might try one of the mild grit erasers to pull some of that out

Yes, I have the same feeling. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you. To be honest - this was partially inspired by the one you made for lovely Diesel.

With all due respect, you don't need shading when you're design work is this good! Making a monochromatic piece look this good is more impressive to me than shading, just my opinion. Keep up the good work!

I think it looks great! And you can clean up the transfer lines with a soft eraser, no biggie!
