Alrighty! Critique time.

You've got a really good base here, but there's a few areas that could use a lit bit more polish. Your colors specifically feel a bit plasticy. One way to avoid this is to not shade using black and white or darker/lighter versions of your base colors. For example, use a dark red for the shadows on an orange based brown and a yellowish color for the highlights on that same brown. Textures can help as well, but you need to make sure you don't go overboard. REally subtle ones that are balanced evenly across all parts of the piece can really help things pop.
