Nice smooth gradations on your tone bar. The shadow on your ball would move diagonally up to the right away from the ball and your light source. I’d make your shadow a bit lighter/softer – you don’t want the shadow to upstage the main actor – it has a supporting role. And make sure not to overemphasize the reflective highlight – it doesn’t want to steal the spotlight either. Try not to make a hard line/edge with your dark sepia to the left of it in the curve. Soft transitions.
